About this episode

Michael Mann faces a major legal setback after a Canadian judge dismissed his long-standing libel lawsuit against Dr. Tim Ball with prejudice. The creator of the famous climate hockey stick graph was ordered to pay legal costs after failing to produce the underlying data requested by the court. Dr. Tim Ball alleges the graph intentionally rewrote climate history by removing the Medieval Warm Period to create an illusion of unprecedented modern warming.

In Texas, a mass shooting in Odessa and Midland left five dead following a routine traffic stop involving a hijacked mail truck. The tragedy prompted Beto O'Rourke to call for mandatory gun buybacks of AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, labeling them instruments of terror. Meanwhile, Philadelphia officials declared a public health emergency due to a Hepatitis A outbreak among the homeless population, and Hong Kong police deployed blue-tinted water cannons to mark pro-democracy protesters for arrest. In Russia, thousands marched through Moscow to protest the exclusion of opposition candidates from city council elections, marking the largest dissent against Vladimir Putin in years.

Joe Biden faces renewed scrutiny over a conflated war story involving a Silver Star ceremony in Afghanistan that fact-checkers claim never happened as described. David Brooks defended the gaffe as campaign trail jostling, while the hosts explore the pharmaceutical drugging of children in Florida schools. The episode concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Cory and Sir Bradley, welcoming them to the No Agenda Roundtable under the value-for-value model.

Windows Update Glitches, Printer Driver Troubleshooting

The hosts discuss technical difficulties following a major Windows update, including corrupted URL dialog boxes in Microsoft Outlook. One host describes a recurring issue where printing from Photoshop or IrfanView prompts a "save to file" dialog instead of executing the print job. Troubleshooting steps involve checking legacy forum posts from 2012 and attempting to reinstall printer drivers before finding a workaround by printing directly from a web browser.

00:00 and sucking all the scooters up into the air and then throwing scooters all over the place. It's Scooter-nado! Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, September 1st, 2019. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 11. Sois enough! This is no agenda. Experiencing the unexpected and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 on the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I'm still not going to see the movie. I'm John C. Dvorak.

00:35 It's Sunday, he's not inspired. That's great. And there goes this effort. Oh, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 10 cars. So there you go. Thank you for that report. You're welcome. Yes. All right. Just in time. So we both got an experience upgrade with our Skype. Yeah, we- uh- yeah- uh- uh- yeah- uh- uh- yeah- uh- uh- I just wanted to say one thing that I don't understand. I, uh, after that huge upgrade just before the last show. The giant one. Yeah, the giant Windows upgrade. So now when I click on, if I open Outlook, which I use for email, any link that I click on, it does not open the browser, does not open this link. I get a dialog box that says, something unexpected went wrong with this URL. And it gives me the URL, and then says,

01:34 The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. What the hell is that? I have no idea. I got it. I've got one. What did you get? Okay, mine is... I looked it up too. This started happening after that big upgrade you're talking about. Yeah. So I go, so here's what I do. I've got one of my printer, I get Photoshop or fan view, whatever it is, I go to print and it immediately prompts me to save the file instead of printing. Oh really? And it's not like a PDF printer that's selected or something? Well, first I thought it was something sketchy that just need a reboot because this has been happening. You got to shut it down, shake it and then reboot it and see what happens like an Etch-a-Sketch. So I rebooted it, it didn't change anything. I said, well, let me try Photoshop. I went to Photoshop, same thing. You hit the print button, it goes, it says save to file.

02:31 Okay, well this is no good. You're saving your print spool no doubt or something. And then I looked it up. Okay. Check V, this has been happening to a lot of people. But it's happened before. This note was from 2012. Trying to print a document and the printer prompts to save the file instead of printing. It goes on as it could somebody help and there's no the help is bullcrap. There's no help as usual all these online No, when it comes to Windows. There's no help. I just I just recommend what we always recommend here on the show Just jiggle the handle a little bit So I said well, this is probably and one of the solutions was this reinstall the printer drivers a lot you you print a lot of stuff and

03:19 I do. I wanted to make sure this was phenomenon that was just something to do with the printer and I rebooted it. So I went to the browser and I said, ah, let me just print a browser page or let me take the document that I was going to print in Earthenview and just grab it and throw it onto the browser where it's now printable. So I hit the print button on the browser, printed fine. Great. Exactly it sucks anyway So much for our tech news this morning very happy to bring that to the other ball. That's right Well, we had a another shooting in Texas yesterday mass shooting

Odessa and Midland Shooting, Media Panic Analysis

A mass shooting event occurred in Odessa and Midland, Texas, resulting in five deaths and over twenty injuries. Initial media reports incorrectly suggested multiple shooters in different locations, causing panic at a local mall where no shooting took place. The perpetrator was eventually killed by police after a high-speed pursuit involving a hijacked mail truck following a routine traffic stop.

odessa· midland· texas· mass shooting· traffic stop· mail truck

04:16 And what happened? I don't even I never saw this news. I was watching the football. Yeah, well, it was big here, of course. Well, what the report that came out first was two shooters, one in Odessa, one in Midland. Midland is right to the west of Texas and Odessa is down the road further to the west of Texas. So they the first reports were, you know, 30 shots, two different shooters, two different cities. Of course, you know, this was Not what it turned out to be. And I tuned into... What station was this? It was the Odessa television station. Now these guys are in the mall.

04:58 where there was no shooting, but they're in the mall. It's one of those setups where you have offices and etc. Radio stations used to have that. I guess this TV station, people can look through the window and see the TV studio. We know that one person has been taken into custody. That's all we know. We don't know about the second person that may have also been involved. There are multiple scenes around town. A lot of people sending us videos of officers here and there. We're just seeing people running through the mall right now. We're not sure what's going on. There are people running through the mall. Yeah, we probably need to go there. We can see this. We probably need to get off the air. Let's go So what happened here is get off. Yeah. Yeah people started running past their window so they panic Okay, we're gonna have to there's something people running through them all we're not sure why let's go with this is Anyway, yeah, so panic everywhere

05:49 Now, five people did get killed and we don't know very much about it other than, or at least as of this morning, it was one guy who was pulled over on the road between Midland and Odessa, traffic stop, he gets out, shoots the cop right away, and then drives to Odessa just shooting people on the highway. And I don't know what weapon he was using, it seems like if you're driving and shooting Yeah, a handgun might be easier, but he killed five people and wounded at least 20 others while driving Apparently and then he stole a mail truck and that's where they ultimately got him and they got him in the mail truck And they shot him dead so we may never know exactly what was going on But thank goodness Beto O'Rourke right away went out to to go and politicize everything so of course it's always about politics I mean, it's not about

CHAPTER 03 / 44 Discussion

Beto O'Rourke, Gun Violence Rhetoric Controversy

Beto O'Rourke faced criticism for using profanity during a CNN interview while discussing the epidemic of gun violence in America. The discussion centers on the political divide regarding "thoughts and prayers" versus legislative action. O'Rourke advocates for universal background checks and criticizes the frequency of mass shootings, which are defined as incidents where three or more people are hit by gunfire.

beto o'rourke· gun violence· cnn· thoughts and prayers· fcc· gun control

06:42 these families, these people, the people affected. No, right away we gotta go to politics, and then you do it with a sincere face like Beto. And then you know what? When you're on CNN, throw in some of your curse words. He's been really good at that lately, and he seems to be gaining traction. The rhetoric that we've used, the thoughts and prayers that you just referred to, it has done nothing to stop the epidemic of gun violence, to protect our kids, our families. I'm just gonna stop. So people are now bitching and moaning. They've been doing this for a while about And it's mainly Democrat Twitter yelling at Republican Twitter. And it goes something like this. Oh, what are your thoughts and prayers gonna do now? So they're all bitching about this thoughts and prayers. The very same people when a celebrity dies will say RIP Love and Light. So you know, it's it's kind of stupid. The epidemic of gun violence to protect our kids, our families, our fellow Americans in public places.

07:40 Walmart in El Paso where 22 were killed in Sutherland Springs in a church. One or two a day all over this country. A hundred killed daily in the United States of America. We're averaging about 300 mass shootings a year. Mass shootings determined as, what is it, three or more people hit by gunfire in one incident. I think. It's a very low standard. No other country comes close. So yes, this is fucked up. And if we don't call it out for what it is, they'll spit it out in the air. Oh yeah, Beto don't care man. He'll just say whatever he needs to say. He'll just tell you all about it. I would send in a complaint to the FCC immediately. Yes, this is fucked up. It's close. So yes, this is fucked up.

08:26 And if we don't call it out for what it is, if we're not able to speak clearly, if we're not able to act decisively, then we will continue to have this kind of bloodshed in America. And I cannot accept that. And so we're going to speak as defiantly and as strongly as we can, but we're also going to take action. Universal background checks. So I thought that would be good ISO for the end of show. Yes, this is fucked up. What do you think? You got something better maybe? I don't have any, I didn't find any ISOs, I didn't isolate anything. But I don't like it. Okay. For one, for two, I could give you ten reasons, but I can give you two good ones. One is Beto O'Rourke. Stop! One reason is enough. What is two? I don't like the word, I don't like the term. No, the second one is it makes it sound like that word, it's a commentary on the show.

CHAPTER 04 / 44 Discussion

Mandatory Gun Buybacks, AR-15 and AK-47 Technicalities

Beto O'Rourke proposed a mandatory gun buyback program and a national gun registry, labeling semi-automatic rifles as "weapons of war." The hosts debate the technical definitions of the AR-15 and AK-47, questioning the legality and availability of fully automatic versions in the United States. The segment highlights O'Rourke's use of emotive language, such as "instruments of terror" and "wounds of war," to describe the impact of high-velocity rounds.

beto o'rourke· gun buyback· ar-15· ak-47· national gun registry· weapons of war

09:20 I'm sure Beto would say the same thing about our show as he did about the shooting. I'm sure he would. He'd love to say that. He'd love to be the guy saying that at the end of our show. So I just stayed on Beto because he was, and of course this is not far from El Paso. El Paso is just a little bit more west from Odessa. And I'd followed him around and he's just thrown out a meme fest of ideas. Have a listen. More than I worry about the politics or the polling. of weapons of war this is it? Yeah he's adding this in.

10:27 But if millions of them remain on the streets, they will still be instruments of terror. Instruments of terror, weapons of war, instruments of terror. He should have said tools of terror. That terrify and terrorize us. And terrify, terrorize, instruments of terror. And take our lives. And what about... I'm not going to accept that. But what about the kind of real world? Why is he not going to accept what he should not accept? What does it got to do with the egomaniac? No, El Paso is his town that got shot up a couple of weeks ago. So why are you talking about the time? So about him, him, him. Well, it's better. He's better. This is about the gun buyback, that he wants to do a mandatory gun buyback, which of course is the definition of infringing.

11:19 and creating a law about the right to bear arms. Today the editorial board is putting in there that if you go too far, that it'll kill the whole thing. This triangulation, calculation, poll testing, every move, that's what got us here in the first place. I listened to those students from Parkland, Florida. March for our lives it came out with a bold plan for peace that talks about many of the measures I just described a national gun registry licensing for every American who owns a firearm Use that gun for self-protection to hunt to collect to shoot at target practice But you don't need an ar-15 and ak-47. I got a question I think

11:59 I keep hearing AR-15, we all know what that is. It's a semi-automatic rifle that looks very scary. The AK-47... No, not necessarily. Yeah, well I want to focus on the AK-47. This is thrown about very easily. I don't believe these are actual fully automatic AK-47s floating around in the country. Am I wrong about this? Is there a... I don't know of anyone who has a fully automatic AK-47. Well, but... I don't know anyone who has an AR-15 that's fully automatic either. No, but I'm just saying that when you say AK-47, that is the classic Kalashnikov. It's a very simple gun and it does single shot or automatic. And they just throw that out next to AR-15. I don't... Is there a market in the US? I never got the implication that it was a machine gun.

12:58 So my question is, is there a separate line of AK-47s that are single shot only? And I don't believe that exists. I think an AK-47 is an AK-47 which can be used fully automatic. Anyway, I have no idea someone would get busted. I don't believe that to be true because it's illegal to have an automatic. It's hugely illegal. That is a weapon of war designed to kill people as efficiently, as effectively, in as great a number as possible. That high impact, high velocity round, it distributes its entire kinetic energy into

13:35 your body and destroys your insides. We talked to the surgeons who treated the victims in El Paso. Many of them had been on the battlefields in Iraq, in Afghanistan. They said these are wounds of war. Ah man, he likes the alliteration, doesn't he? Weapons of war, tools of terrorism, wounds of war. Now, this is all horrible. He's desperate. It's horrible, of course, but I just want to say something to people who listen to our show, to get kind of highlights and not be drowning under the dreck that is shoveled on top of you by the mainstream. While horrible and while crap and a super day wrecker, there's probably five other people that died in these two towns on the same day from other

Austin Homelessness Town Hall, Behavioral Health Terminology

A two-hour town hall meeting in Austin, Texas, addressed the city's homelessness crisis and the lifting of camping ordinances. Officials introduced the term "behavioral health" to describe the intersection of lifestyle habits and mental well-being. Tensions rose between city advocates, who referred to the homeless as "neighbors experiencing homelessness" or "camping," and residents concerned about public safety and sanitation.

austin· homelessness· behavioral health· city council· camping ordinance· police data

17:42 Town Hall in Austin regarding the homelessness situation the unhoused and the term is Behavioral health so we have mental health and we have behavioral health. Have you heard of this difference? Well, okay can actually I did I got an actual answer to that the article I have here from Alvernia University Behavioral health versus mental health. What's the difference? So behavioral health describes the connection between behaviors and the health and well-being of the body, mind, and spirit. This would include... Is this summarized as you should be exercising more? Is that what we're talking about here? I'm not sure. This would include how behaviors like eating habits, drinking or exercising impact physical or mental health.

18:37 However, during the 70s and 80s, behavioral health almost entirely referred to behaviors that prevent illness or that promote health. Later, the term began to include behaviors that help people manage disease. Most recently, behavioral health incorporated mental health. So I'm not quite... that doesn't really explain anything to me, but... Say the least. So I was... After the show on Thursday, which I really, I wanted to, I considered going to this big town hall, but A, I was tired and B, I found out they were gonna have it videotaped anyway. And once you see that you have to fill out, you know, 10 pages of forms just to get a question asked, I'm like, no, this is not, I'm not gonna go there.

19:22 So I watched all two hours. What a shit show. The city of Austin, so we had the mayor, we had the, I'd say the financial comptroller, we had a representative from APD, from the police department, they had a moderator, you know. So they had a panel of eight people and one of these hippie hipster moderators, you know, the kind you bring into your company. Now here's some big rocks, here's some little rocks. Now what do we put in first, the big rocks or the little rocks? You know one of those guys? So he was doing the moderation. They also had a community advocate. And so they're talking and then I just wanted to play this only single clip from this two-hour session.

20:02 Where you can hear the attitude of the city and how they feel about people experiencing homelessness Which by the way if they didn't have to use that whole sentence every single time people experiencing homelessness It would have taken them only an hour and a half to get through this meeting. It's so cumbersome Just say people who are homeless. That's a lie, by the way Experiencing homeless. They're not experiencing. They're homeless You experience homelessness if you sleep on the street for a day. It's like, and it's not supposed to hurt their feelings. It's gonna be a new ride at Disney World. Experience homelessness! We need a theme song. Anyway, just listen to this. This is the community... I think first we...

20:52 We'll hear from the guy from Austin Police Department and we'll get to the community advocate. You'll hear it soon enough. So Chris, you're a community advocate. You work directly with homeless. Why do you care about this issue? Because homelessness shouldn't exist because it's a form of extreme poverty that should not happen in the richest country in the history of human civilization. And I believe that, you know, we We have a duty, we have a responsibility as a city and as fellow citizens to make sure that everyone is housed and has what they need ultimately to get by day to day. So Chief, you have some thoughts on this maybe?

21:31 I want to just reinforce the importance of calling us when you see that suspicious behavior because although we may not be able to take any specific action in that instance, we are a data-driven department. We do collect data on where things are occurring, where crimes are occurring. Just a quick interruption there. Before all this started, they were asking about Has there been an increase in crime since the city ordinance was lifted and you can camp anywhere except for in front of City Hall, of course. And the guy from the police department was saying, well, we don't have any data to show that.

22:12 But what he meant was we actually don't have any data. We have no data. They have zero data on these past six weeks, but that got reported here in Austin as no proof. You know one of those deals? It's really despicable what they're doing. I love it. I want to just reinforce the importance of calling us when you see that suspicious behavior because although we may not be able to take any specific action in that instance, we are a data-driven department. We do collect data on where things are occurring, where crime is occurring, when it's occurring, and that's how we deploy our officers based on both time and location. So it's important to note when these things are happening. Matt, you want to say something? Yeah, I also just want to make sure that we really start to identify what criminal activity means and what it is. People just being in a place because they have nowhere else to be is not a crime. So I think

23:04 It's really starting to focus. For me to have too many people at my own house. So what the lady is screaming here is, yeah, if I have too many people at my house, it's against the law. It's considered a party and I have to break it up. But okay, it's all right. These people can do whatever they want. This is the public versus the people running the city on stage. Being in a place because they have nowhere else to be is not a crime. Oh, yes. So I think it's really starting to focus. For me to have too many people at my own house. Really starting to focus on You know no one no one's up here advocating for people to build us all other folks or be able to be aggressive in nature We would now wait for the for the for the community advocate except we wouldn't expect that from our community from our house community So we don't expect it from people experiencing homelessness So there we just have to really be able to identify what it is that we're talking about when we discuss criminal activity if something looks like criminal activity

24:00 You know, that's not necessarily mean that it is criminal activities, it's people living. So, you're using heroin on your client. So now they're like, hey, they're doing heroin, that's not criminal? Nah, shut up, you're up, you're in the audience. All right, let's have our panelists. Finish Chris, and then we'll leave the others. I want to push back a little bit on the question as well, because this, the people that are camping in your neighborhoods are your neighbors too. Oh, okay. They live in your neighborhood. They were neighbors, neighbors! And I think it's clear that we need to, it's clear that the city needs to, it's clear that the city needs to provide additional resources to help limit the impacts on house neighbors of camping, which also is going to really help people that are camping currently to live in more sanitary conditions. Do you notice a trend here? You're not homeless. You're camping.

24:57 completely different. You're a neighbor of, you're a house neighbor of someone who's camping. Which also is going to really help people that are camping currently to live in more sanitary conditions and be healthier themselves. And so I really do support immediately providing those sorts of things. Trash pickup. I pay $35 a month for my trash pickup. Porter potties and other types of services. But I think it's really important to understand that, you know, people in your neighborhoods are your neighbors. No! And I know a lot of folks are feeling victimized by people camping their neighbors, but almost every single one of those folks would switch places with you if they could. And just to understand that, and that we're all trying to get to a place where we can live together and live together well. The sad thing is there's people in the audience who are all in with this jmoke.

25:54 Yeah, yeah, I will say this just as an aside at least the sound was good It took a while to find a version with the sound that was good believe me and only had four views no one cares I've seen most of these four views Lots of these is just a shotgun mic on it on us somebody's oh yeah, oh no There's a lot of that. There's a lot of that. Oh So a couple things, so this behavioral health I heard a lot. Camping is good. Well, they're not homeless, they are neighbors who are camping. And I think the biggest cop-out of all, and our mayor uses that a lot, is we all have to work together. You know why? Because when it doesn't work, well, we didn't all work together. But I know there were certain elements who didn't work together with us.

CHAPTER 07 / 44 Discussion

City Council Corruption, Local Government Salaries

The hosts discuss the perceived incompetence and petty corruption within city councils across the United States, from Port Angeles to Austin. They note that Austin City Council members earn approximately $76,000 annually, which they contrast with other municipalities where positions are largely volunteer-based. The conversation touches on the lack of qualified candidates willing to run for local office.

city council· corruption· austin· port angeles· local government· salaries

26:48 So anyway, here's a television report. By the way, before we continue, I want to say, because Mimi's involved in city council work in Port Angeles, welcome to the USA, they're all like this. The city council specifically you mean? Yes, in fact she's always bitching to me, she's like, I don't believe it's any place else, you're here in some place. I said no, I said they're all like this. They're all second rate and it's really pathetic because it should be the foundation of the country. Yes. But no, it's a bunch of usually egomaniacs and people who run because nobody else wants to run. You have to blame the public at large.

27:31 And it's, and they're all corrupt. There's a minor corruption. It's like petty corruption. It permeates all the city councils from San Jose to Port Angeles to Duluth, I'm sure. Berkeley. To Austin. Absolutely, for Berkeley. Deep in the heart of Texas. We got this going on. Austin, Texas, one of the flying little capital cities of the world. It's just, this is it. It's I don't know what to tell you and I don't know what you can do about it. Well, find people who want to run with a better message and support them, I guess, in our district. But they have to pay more. What do you mean pay more? They don't pay enough money for these people. $76,000. No, no, hold on. $76,000 every council member is paying. No, that's not it. Most places it's next to nothing.

28:23 Like nothing in many places volunteer work. Yeah, well, they're getting $76,000 on that City Council in Austin, Texas. Yep, every single member I looked it up because I wanted to see if it was worth it. It's not I'm not gonna get beaten up. Okay, maybe if I could do the podcast You could do the podcast and be the city council person. Unfortunately, I know what would happen. You'd be bitching and moaning so much. Yeah, it would ruin the show. The podcast. It would ruin the show. It would pretty much be the Austin City Council podcast. Yeah, we're not going to do that. But I will support anyone who wants to rouse this... Who do we have here? Garza, I think. Some guy.

South Austin Homeless Shelters, Affordable Housing Initiatives

Austin city leaders approved an $8.5 million purchase of an office building on Ben White Boulevard to convert into a homeless shelter, sparking a petition with over 5,700 signatures from local residents. Additionally, a Salvation Army facility on Tannehill Lane remains unoccupied due to funding and certification delays. The city also announced plans to purchase 300 affordable homes, with a portion reserved for individuals with disabilities or critical needs.

south austin· homeless shelters· salvation army· affordable housing· ben white boulevard

29:01 So here's the news report on the city's new plans. We've changed things a little bit, everybody. We're working together like a team. We want to update you on the city's plans for creating more homeless shelters in Austin. First, there's the new shelter coming to South Austin off of Ben White Boulevard. The city approved spending a little more than eight and a half million dollars to buy an existing 26,000 square foot office building there and to turn it into a shelter. Council members are adamant that this will not be a drop-in shelter like the Arch, but this plan isn't going over well with some who live nearby. A petition against it has more than 5,700 signatures so far. And the other shelter is the Salvation Army's new Rag Geber on Tannehill Lane in East Austin. It's meant to house families with children, and even though there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony for it in June,

29:57 No one's living there now. The Salvation Army still needs money and an occupancy certificate from the city before people can move in. City leaders have long said the way to fix homelessness is to address affordable housing needs. Most recently, the city approved buying 300 new affordable homes, and specifically 140 of those will be for people who are homeless, have disabilities, or have other critical needs. Now I understand when you're talking about a pipeline of homelessness and people who actually just fall off the edge because of a medical situation or something else and it can happen shoot it could happen to me quite easily although I you know of course I married the keeper so you know I'll be okay but for years whoo I made it for years living on the edge you know it's like well what would the donations be who knows you miss two shows and if you're deplatformed or something like that and then it becomes a problem

CHAPTER 09 / 44 Discussion

Philadelphia Hepatitis A Outbreak, Public Health Emergency

Philadelphia officials declared a public health emergency following a surge in Hepatitis A cases, primarily affecting the homeless population and drug users. The city plans to install hand-washing stations and public toilets in areas like Kensington's McPherson Park to contain the contagious virus. The hosts discuss the long-term health risks of the disease, which can cause chronic liver damage.

philadelphia· hepatitis a· public health· vaccine· sanitation· liver disease

30:57 I understand that and I think there's probably a good reason to have some temporary housing for people and families to help them catch up so they can figure it out. But we're talking people who've been homeless, unhoused, experiencing it for eight years, nine years, 12 years. They live effectively outdoors and now they're all just coming in into the city. Hey, we can camp there. Why not? It's a lot closer to everything. It's where I can get drugs if I want them. And, well, I don't know, it's very, very sad and before you know it, we'll be like Philadelphia. Help is on the way to deal with the Hepatitis A outbreak. It began with the health department declaring a public emergency. The emergency declaration is really to call the healthcare community to partner with us rapidly to

31:44 administer a vaccine to as many of these folks at risk as we can as soon as possible to quell this outbreak. Since January, 154 people were diagnosed with hepatitis A. Compare that to 21 cases in all of 2018. Officials want to vaccinate those most at risk, drug users and people who are homeless. Vaccinate them against hepatitis A and protect them from getting this so that we can stop this outbreak. In addition to the pop-up clinics like this one this week in Kensington's McPherson Park, the city will install hand-washing stations in the next couple of weeks to help contain this contagious virus. The city also intends to provide public toilets and public facilities.

32:24 to keep us safe and keep our health and bodies clean. I'm glad they don't send a body because it is slowing down. And the city says this emergency will stay intact until the commissioner believes that it is contained. You know, a madman shooter is one thing, and it's definitely something to be afraid of, but this really scares me. And this is what we were predicting in San Francisco. They would just be floating around everywhere. Now it seems to be happening in Philadelphia. Well, there's hepatitis A, there is cholera, there's a number of other ailments that all come from transference via poop. And you have in Texas, I'd be more concerned there than anywhere else.

33:07 Mainly because it's when the poop dries out and then becomes dust. All we are is dust in the wind. And you're breathing poop that's contaminated probably or maybe or maybe not. And the next thing you know, you have a real problem on your hands and there's nothing you're going to do about it overnight. What does hepatitis A do to you actually? What is the... It blows out your liver. Oh, well I might need that. What do you mean you might need that? I might need my liver. I don't want it blown up. Oh, you need your liver, yeah. You've got to kind of handy that. Now, can you, because there's a vaccination against it apparently, is there a cure? Or is it bed rest and fluids? It's chronic. You just have to... Oh, you don't get rid of it? No, I don't think so. Oh, geez. So on that upbeat note, how you doing? You got anything? Because that's everything from Texas today. We're shooting people. We've got people camping. It's beautiful.

Hong Kong Protests, Blue Dye Water Cannons

During the 13th week of pro-democracy unrest in Hong Kong, police utilized water cannons filled with blue-tinted dye to mark protesters for later identification and arrest. The demonstrations coincided with the five-year anniversary of China's decision to limit democratic elections in the territory. Protesters continued to use makeshift shields and umbrellas to defend against tear gas and police tactics.

34:09 Well, it looks like the Pac-12 still sucks. Pac-12? Anybody else needs to know that little piece of tidbit information? What's Pac-12? Yeah, never mind. It's the football league out here. Oh, okay. College. College football began. Okay. I got some clips from some interesting things. We might as well at least get the Hong Kong update out of the way because there's a new twist that I thought was very creative. Because as you know in Hong Kong during these riots, the Hong Kong, they've got the umbrellas out so things bounce off the umbrellas. They put a cone on top of the...

34:45 uh gas canisters and then pour water on it there's a bunch of things going on but this little new one has got this a little they've did this is i like this authorities banned today's march but tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered at government headquarters the protesters armed themselves with makeshift weapons and shields as they confronted police who fired blue tinted water from cannons to mark the protesters This weekend marks the 13th week of unrest and falls on the five-year anniversary of a decision by China to limit democracy in the semi-autonomous territory. That announcement launched a 79-day occupation of Hong Kong streets by pro-democracy demonstrators known as the Umbrella Movement. Why did they use, why did they choose blue? Wouldn't you want something bright yellow or bright pink? Wouldn't you want something good? I don't know what you would want. You have a

35:36 your spring Asians who have brown skin and you want something to show up on the brown skin, maybe the blue dye works. I don't know, but I thought the idea of shooting dye at people, because this is what those dye packs do to bank robbers. Yes. You put a date to dumb bank robbers. They put a bunch of money in a bag and they put a dye pack in there and then it explodes all over and it throws dye all over the money. I had one of those bills once, by the way. I mean, you still take cash from me. But it throws dye all over the money and then throws dye all over you. And it's just stuff that doesn't come off for a month. They have, they do that with clothing tags as well now. They also have dye bombs. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, you know the things that they unclip before you leave the store? Yeah, so if you try to hammer it yourself, it won't... Yeah, it'll hammer on you basically. And it also ruins the garment so it can't be returned for cash, which is really the scam, which is what most people want to do.

CHAPTER 11 / 44 Discussion

Retail Fraud, Broadcasting Wardrobe Habits

The hosts share anecdotes about women in the broadcasting industry who allegedly purchase expensive outfits, wear them on-air with the tags hidden by tape, and then return them to the store. This practice was reportedly common at media companies like Tech TV and Mevio. The discussion highlights the dishonesty of "wardrobing" and the use of dye tags by retailers to prevent such returns.

retail fraud· broadcasting· wardrobe· tech tv· mevio· clothing tags

36:38 They want to take it and they want to return it. I'll bet there's a very high percentage of women in the United States who frequently go to a store, buy an outfit, wear it for the evening, keep the tag on and return it. Are you kidding? It's almost every woman. I've worked with all the broadcasting people I've ever worked with in the Bay Area. All of them do that. All of them, not one or two. There used to be a place across from Mevio that was up on the other side of the street, up and over, it was on the corner. It was some fancy, dancy place. And everybody would go over there and they'd grab a garment, they'd do it, they have tape, they tape up the little tags and they wear it on the air.

37:23 And they they could have expensed it. What's their problem? I thought they could have explained. They were nobody expenses of clothes You either have a dark. It was my company. I would have signed off on it. No you wouldn't Believe me if you were signing off on clothes You'd be broke I Didn't know this was that how dishonest I Yeah, they go over there, well, this kid was, they, so the store was aware of this. Men don't do this. No, men don't do this. We don't care. But all the women do, and they, they got a little piece of tape, they tag the thing up and they go and they do a thing on the air. I know we had this at Tech TV, and we had a lot, a lot of women, and they all did it one time. They didn't do it as much as they did at Mevio, but they did it one time or another. They all did it, all of them.

38:14 And they would go and they just say, that's really nice. Yeah, I got it. So, so I think I'm probably going to take it back, but I was going to keep it. And they take this stuff back is very common with a lot of women, especially the ones that work in broadcasting. And it's not like a scandal. Oh, well, I just kind of noticed this. Wow. They're doing a lot of this, aren't they? Hmm. Yeah. Interesting. Well, this morning, I was getting back to Hong Kong. There was more chaos. This is a report I just picked up from this morning, just to give us the most recent news. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Hong Kong's international airport on Sunday as pro-democracy rallies showed no signs of abating. The demonstrators are determined to carry on their campaign despite increasingly violent confrontations with police and warnings from Beijing. Dangerous. Everyone who's out here today is prepared to be arrested.

CHAPTER 12 / 44 Discussion

Hong Kong Airport Disruptions, Military Buildup

Pro-democracy rallies in Hong Kong shifted focus to the international airport and train services to draw global attention to the movement. Reports indicate a significant military buildup by Beijing near the border, which Chinese officials claim is a routine rotation of forces. Footage emerged of riot police engaging in violent confrontations with citizens inside subway trains.

The demonstrators are determined to carry on their campaign despite increasingly violent confrontations with police and warnings from Beijing. Dangerous. Everyone who's out here today is prepared to be arrested.

39:12 But dangerous isn't an excuse. We shouldn't ignore what's happening because we think it's dangerous and let Hong Kong fall. By disrupting air and train services, the protesters once again focused international attention on their actions. Police said the gathering was illegal and warned of a dispersal operation. Did you see the footage of the train where the riot police are just hammering on people? They just wait for the doors to open and go in and kick their asses? Yeah, those are trains from China. Yeah, I think these are all Chinese from the mainland. And meanwhile we've got military buildup which Beijing says is just regular rotation, nothing to see here. They got tanks, they got all kinds of stuff rolling around in the neighborhood. I don't know if they've always been there, but it seems like it's kind of being underplayed by the media.

40:02 We'll find out soon enough. Well, again, it may go on to October so they have their celebration and come in and kick ass. By the way, I was watching, this was like a couple weeks ago and I've been trying to find it. I didn't take good enough notes. But there was on Christina Amonpour, she's got some PBS thing where she interviews four or five people in her unctuous way. And they had some Democrat on there who was talking about the Chinese Hong Kong riots claiming that they were protesting Trump's racism. I can't for the life of me find this clip. Oh, but I threw it out there anyway unproven so anyway, hmm Where are my shirts? I? Want my t-shirt China's asshole. Yeah, anyway, we'll see I mean the reporting is just all kind of the same, but it's been it's been this way for a while so

Moscow Pro-Democracy Protests, Vladimir Putin Dissent

Thousands of demonstrators marched in Moscow to protest the exclusion of opposition candidates from the upcoming city council elections. These rallies represent the largest showing of dissent in Russia in over five years, with participants chanting for a free Russia. The hosts speculate on the stability of Vladimir Putin's leadership amidst the growing unrest.

41:07 I think it's very important what happens. Poor Chinese, man. Poor Hong Kongers. Yes, the Hong Kongers. It's not the Chinese per se. It's the Hong Kongers. Depends on how you define everything, of course. There's some other protests going on. There's some dissent. I got a PBS report dissent in Russia. Oh, what was this about? In Moscow today, thousands marched to protest rules that bar some opposition candidates from running for city council. Marchers at the unauthorized rally held up pro-democracy signs and chanted, quote, Russia will be free. Protests over the September 8th election began in mid-July.

41:44 including a permitted rally that attracted about 60,000 demonstrators. The recent protests over the city council vote are the largest showing of dissent in Russia in more than five years. I can hear a lot of talk or I'm reading a lot of talk about, you know, Putin may be on the outs and how much longer can he hold on to it. We really don't know a lot about how it works in Russia. No. Who's really running the show? I'm a captain in the dark. Thank you, media. Orange man bad. Yeah There were protests over the weekend in Boston at the straight pride parade Which yeah, this was kind of interesting and I did get an email from one of our producers who said do you want I was there on the ante on the counter protest do you want to report I'm like, yeah

CHAPTER 14 / 44 Discussion

Boston Straight Pride Parade, Counter-Protest Volatility

A "Straight Pride Parade" in Boston organized by John Hugo was met with significant counter-protests from the LGBTQ community and Antifa. Police in riot gear were deployed to manage the volatility, resulting in over a dozen arrests. Local students at Emerson College expressed fear and opposition to the event, while organizers claimed they were celebrating traditional American values.

boston· straight pride parade· antifa· lgbtq· emerson college· counter-protest

42:29 I said, well, I still haven't received anything, so I don't know what's going on. But I have two reports, one just before and one after a post-Pride report. Just listen to how this was set up, and there's an interesting gaffe in this one too. Emerson students are moving in, but tomorrow the college warns of a disruptive or even dangerous event taking place on the streets directly outside, the street Pride parade. It honestly just really scares me. I think a straight pride parade is nothing but you know pride masquerading as hate these so-called I don't know why they left that in what is wrong with these people but she said instead of hate masquerading as pride she says it's pride masquerading as hate

43:17 And they left it in, which is very odd to me. What is that about? I think it was just a foul up. I kind of misheard it the first time I heard it. That's why I had to play it again. I think they were just rushing the report out in the edit room and they just let that one go by and nobody picked it up at any level. Which is really all, that concerns me more than anything. You got an anchor reading it, you got somebody editing it, you got a guy in the control room and nobody picks this up. You do? Yeah.

44:02 Like I think the guy who smokes weed every day picks it up. A straight pride parade is nothing but you know pride masquerading as hate. The so-called straight pride parade is in response to gay pride events. John Hugo is one of the organizers. Celebrating our own sexual agenda and traditional American values. They don't deserve our attention. Arlene Isaacson co-chairs the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus. She stresses straight people have not been marginalized throughout history for their sexuality. So it's silly to say that they need a straight pride parade when candidly straight pride takes place 365 days a year. And there is exactly the problem. And I understand that what these people are trying to organize is provocative and understand it's kind of like, hey, you know, straight lives matter too. It can't just be all about the small marginalized groups. But of course it's being interpreted as like you're Nazis.

45:00 Of course. It's crazy. The parade begins at Copley Square and ends at City Hall with speakers. Organizers have a four-hour permit starting at noon. Boston police are expecting more counter demonstrators to the parade than actual parade participants. Of course they go out and they talk to these freshmen who are just coming into Emerson College. Hey listen, straight gay, we're all gonna be on this stuff together. Let them do what they want to do. Not this guy. Because of the potential volatility, police are restricting parking. What people can bring, as there will be lots of officers. Emerson College has even canceled an event and restricted access to certain buildings. Students plan to use the dorms along the route for their own message. People are talking about like hanging their gay pride flags out the window, which I'm all for and just yeah, we're all against it. Oh my goodness. We're against it. We're against it. So what about just the possibility that a whole bunch of straight

45:59 cis, normal, gender fluid, unfluid, whatever. People just want to have a parade without, you know, having a, just to have a parade. Because these days, without it being a gay parade, even the St. Patrick's Day parade has become kind of a gay parade because everyone was, oh, the gay, here comes the gay St. Patty's Day paraders. I mean the last person who wants to have a parade was Trump, who had the big 4th of July parade and got his story ated. On the same subject, there's this story which was a local news outlet in Vermont. This is the crazy University of Vermont hate sticker story which is per

46:47 permeating the East Coast along with the with the straight parade stuff. To me this is the most I was just jaw-dropped for me maybe I'm so out of time I must now I have to assume I'm completely out of touch. Well class is back in session at UVM but it's not the welcoming most students wanted. It's just not kind and not what this campus stands for. Yet again three hate speech stickers were found posted in areas of campus. This time displaying messages like better dead than red and keep America American I actually think that's kind of scary because this is a really diverse campus. Police say the group responsible goes by the Patriots

University of Vermont Sticker Controversy, Hate Speech Allegations

The University of Vermont and Burlington Police involved the FBI after stickers from a group called "Patriots Front" were found on campus. The stickers featured slogans such as "Better Dead Than Red" and "Keep America American," which students and faculty labeled as white nationalist hate speech. The hosts mock the severity of the reaction, noting that "Better Dead Than Red" is a Cold War-era anti-communist slogan.

Police say the group responsible goes by the Patriots

47:25 front, which has been recognized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. The various stickers pushes a message of white nationalism. What? This is no new issue. This comes nearly a year after similar stickers by the same group were found on UVM's campus. and just weeks after more stickers were found posted in various areas of Burlington. UVM now working with Burlington Police and in contact with the FBI. But for students, this isn't the start to the semester they were anticipating. I don't think any of the faculty appreciate it. I don't think the majority of the student body appreciate it. UVM Police hoping this will be the last of a group looking to cause division. We're concerned about a group like that being involved here and its impact on our community.

48:12 Wait a minute. So the only thing I heard there was one of the stickers said, better dead than red. And that was the only one they mentioned. Was there anything else? No, the other one was, no, there was two of them they mentioned. What was the other one? One of them was better dead than red, which is really scary. Yeah, especially since it's from the 60s. And the other one, according to the girl, and the other one is America for Americans. That's scary. Scary. They're grounded in hate. Although I don't like the name. Anything front, you're just a dick. You're gonna name your group Patriot Front. But the stickers themselves, and there's no proof of any of anyone, they didn't catch anybody putting a sticker up. Could be a bunch of frat boys. We've ruined our children. Better

48:57 Dead than Red is an old... From the 60s! From the 60s. It's 60s commentary. It's 50s and 60s. Actually, I think it came out of the 50s. which was a sticker you know it's a bumper sticker because it was like an anti-communist bumper sticker but no anti-communism is now scary terrorism and the other one America for Americans is not a new comic. It's terrorism. Shut up. Scary. What is wrong with these kids? Well let's listen to the post-pride straight pride parade and most of these kids were arrested for rowdiness. I don't know if they interviewed all 100 people, but most of them Trump supporters. This is what we're doing now. The media is connecting

Dave Chappelle Special, Generational Evolution Debate

The hosts discuss the reaction to Dave Chappelle's latest comedy special, framing the criticism as a conflict between "evolved" thinking and traditional humor. They argue that younger generations use the concept of social evolution to dismiss older perspectives as obsolete or bigoted. The conversation touches on the disconnect between older media figures and modern pop culture trends.

50:00 Trump supporters to straight people to Nazis. Yeah, it's really it's just you left numerous. You left out way, way, way, way. It may be. It may be in the rest of the report. I believe, sir, that God made one man and one woman and they get together and procreate. I can't sit down in my house no more and be quiet that I need to stand up for my godly values. The parade was met with even louder protesters from the LGBTQ community and Antifa. Move back. Police with riot gear on bikes and in armored cars were out in full force. Along the parade route, several protesters were arrested. No justice, no peace! Straight, right, and off our streets! The rally part of this event has been delayed because organizers say some of the special guests who were scheduled to speak have not been able to get through the security checkpoints, which makes these protesters happy. We can't hear you!

51:02 The point of being here today is to make sure that they know that they're not welcome in Boston. Police say no major injuries were reported. More than a dozen people were arrested. Straight people not welcome in Boston. Straight people are not welcome in Boston. You heard it here first. Now I talked to my local millennial about this kind of stuff. Actually went back, it was part of a larger discussion about Dave Chappelle, about the show that we discussed on the last episode. And I can I can kind of boil it down to this. You and I, John, and I turned 55 on Tuesday. I become 50, and I saw that is, of course, I'm twice the age of the young college graduate. I don't feel old, but the basic takeaway is I have not evolved.

51:50 This is truly it and Dave Chappelle has not evolved. He has not evolved to the point where he understands he just it's not cool to make jokes about someone's sexuality. Of course there's a host of other things but it's something about you, your thinking, mine, is not evolved. therefore only an unevolved person like you which usually is then described as an age issue. It's always ageism. And you're a little bit older than me, but for me it's very difficult right now where on one hand I have to admit I don't really know what's at the top of the billboard chart. I don't recognize half of the people I saw in the Video Music Awards. Of course, I mean I'm also doing other things. I'm not in that business like I used to.

52:46 like I used to be, but I don't... Yeah, and when you're in the business, it behooves you to know all that stuff. Yeah. If you're not in that business, why would you know all that stuff? Right. But this is the complaint. You're not evolved in your thinking. So I'm literally, I'm not keeping up with evolution. And otherwise I would never even think a joke like that was funny. And this is more of this evolved thinking. And if you were keeping up, if you were evolving, then you'd know how scary it is to see a little sticker among three stickers on a campus that says, better dead than red. So there's a couple other things in the- That's evolution. A couple other items in kind of news that pertain to this.

Dior Ad Controversy, Calvin Klein Plus-Size Branding

Dior pulled a fragrance advertisement featuring Johnny Depp and a Native American dancer following accusations of cultural appropriation. Meanwhile, Calvin Klein has shifted its marketing strategy from the "heroin chic" look of the 1990s to featuring plus-size models. The hosts discuss changing beauty standards and the influence of the Kardashian aesthetic on modern body image.

dior· johnny depp· cultural appropriation· calvin klein· plus-size models· kim kardashian

54:37 Well, there's that. Meanwhile, the new Dior ad had to be pulled because they clearly are not evolved and they put Johnny Depp. It's a good ad actually, although Depp is kind of weird and he's promoting Sauvage, the new parfum from Dior. But the commercial is him out, you know, like in a Western landscape. He's got his black guitar. He's out there playing guitar. He looks all kind of rowdy and rough. Where's the power cord to that guitar that lets it play like that? Yeah, he can do that. But in the background, there's an American Indian

55:16 You know, in full headdress twirling around and that of course is cultural appropriation so they had to pull that. I can't believe they're not evolved on this stuff! So stupid. Who is evolved is Calvin Klein though. Calvin Klein is really trying to relaunch and reinvent its brand with plus-size models. I speak my truth in my hashtag Calvins. There's been pretty big plus models they're showing in these ads. So they've literally gone from Kate Moss looking anorexic, remember? To Marky Mark. Remember Mark Wahlberg? He did the Calvin Kleins. And now it's big plus-size models, which is fine by me. But okay, that's also changed though. What is considered to be a beautiful womanly shape has changed.

56:13 These days women that I have met and interact with which seems like kind of a standard Really want to look like Kim Kardashian They want the skinny waist the humongous butt in the and the breasts to match and I'm not evolved No So you to be involved you have to be a Kardashian fan. That's basically it and yeah, oh that's involved. There you go So these people are so kind of tied up in media and mass... Yeah, you're right. How sad is it? Mass marketing and everything else that they're so proud of not being able to be influenced by because, oh no, we were immune to advertising this, the millennials as well as the Repotos. Sure they are. They're so immune. But meanwhile, they want big giant butts out of the blue. Yeah. And it's kind of... The desired female shape has

57:09 morphed many times over the ages. The Rubenesque woman was considered the height of sexiness and that changed into... That was in the 1600s I think. I think more 17s but yeah. I'm not gonna bitch about a hundred years with you. But yeah, that's being involved. It seems like they're being brainwashed into I don't know. It's beyond me. All I know is when I heard that girl from the university student said, it's so scary about a sticker that says better dead than red, which refers to being a communist and that's scary and she's upset about it and they don't know what to do. She's beside herself. This is, this is, it's gone way too far.

Homelessness Experience Theme Park Concept

In a satirical segment, the hosts brainstorm a "Homelessness Experience" ride for Disney World, modeled after Pirates of the Caribbean. The concept includes animatronic encampments, "rivers of pee," and virtual reality simulations of urban decay. The ride would conclude with a "politician" section where guests are told that more housing is the only solution.

disneyland· homelessness· virtual reality· animatronics· satire· theme park

58:01 It's everywhere though, and it's propagated through podcasts John. I've created a monster It just keeps on going yeah podcasts aren't helping I have to call back though your idea of the homelessness experience in Disneyland This is an exit strategy. I think we could create this ride now Do you sit in the ride or do you I think you should also experience for a brief moment you stepping in human feces I don't know if the homeless are always stepping in human feces. I guess some of that are really down and out, staggering down the street all leaned over. No, no, I mean, if the ride, is the ride, are you going to actually experience it? Like, so is it a ride? I think the most enjoyable Disney rides are in a cart, you know, and you got your music going on and you're like, you know. Well, OK, there's two ways of going about this. I'm a huge connoisseur of these things. Here we go.

59:04 There's one is you're in the little car, little car, little thing and it's going through a homeless encampment and people are all animatronic. That's like Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, exactly like Pirates of the Caribbean only you're not in. Maybe you could be in a kind of a river of pee. You know, if you're into kind of stinky pee, that would be okay. But I think generally speaking, it'd be better on rails and you go through these things and you can see all these different people and then they have, you know, people, did you have, you go through the section where there's a bunch of politicians trying to come up with good solutions and they finally say, we just need more housing. And then you come out, you come out the other end of it and you feel real good about yourself and you, now you understand, you understand. Now you have evolved.

59:46 That's what it is. Now the other one, which is the cheaper way to go, is you put, you wear some VR glasses or you're in a VR situation, you experience the whole thing, only now it's even more realistic, not, because it's not animatronics, it's not, it's not dummies and things like Pirates of the Caribbean, it's the actual videos that you're seeing and you're surrounded by the real stench and feels and like, and fans blowing the smell of crap in your face. And you go through the whole thing and you come out the other end pretty much with the same message, but it's just a cheaper way to do the ride. Less maintenance. I personally like the Pirates of the Caribbean version. I like that a little better.

1:00:30 I think it's more fun. I always like those rides better than the ones that are closed. Yeah, because you go through City Hall where the council members are all sitting there pontificating. Then you could do, and here's Los Angeles and here's Austin. You could have a couple show some differences. Oh yeah. Right? Yeah, you could take the car through one place or another. And then, you know, guys begging for money in different ways. Along the ride people keep coming up to your cart asking for money. We're going to hell for this. But I am actively working on this problem in Austin. I'm meeting the CEO of Community First Village Monday after next.

No Agenda Stream, Value for Value System

The hosts promote the No Agenda Stream and the "value for value" model, thanking artist Darren O'Neill for his recent show artwork. They encourage listeners to contribute through jingles, art, or financial donations rather than traditional advertising. The segment highlights the community-driven nature of the program and the various ways producers support the show's infrastructure.

1:02:36 He's Darren O'Neill! Is this a hat trick for Darren? Has he done it again? Is it now three in a row? It's possible. He brought us a great takeoff of the 18 to 8.

1:09:50 Sir Button, parts unknown, 250 bucks becomes associate executive producer. The show's been great lately, gentlemen, but this is really me just trying to secure some job karma ahead of a rollout. Keep up the good work, Sir Button. All right, well then let's see if we can make this work for you. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. Youth Thoughts, Karma. Brendan, $237, some long note, USA. I am pleased to report that after three years of indulging in your crackpotting, buzz-killing, Trump apologizing, bug-eating, dimension-straddling antics, and being on a $4 per week subscription for the majority of that time, plus a few larger donations thrown in for good measure, I can finally stake my claim to a seat at the No Agenda Roundtable. I would like to be known as Sir BT.

1:10:52 Dark Knight of the Morphogenic Field. Morphogenetic Field. Dark Knight of the Morphogenetic Field. Is that on there? I think it is. I believe so. I think I saw that come in earlier today. The first thing I'd like to ask for is a major shot of mental health karma from my twin brother, Patrick. He has a rare disorder called HPPD. hallucinogen persisting perception disorder. It's, oh that's interesting. Whoa. It's a mental illness that is caused primarily by using hallucinogenic drugs like LSD. I've heard of this. Was it like, is that like a flashback? Is that basically? I think it's like a, where you have flashbacks constantly. Oh geez.

1:11:35 The symptoms are pretty straightforward, constantly experiencing visual distortions and patterns similar to the kind you would experience while on LSD long after you stopped using the drug. It can cause an unbelievably painful chronic head pressure which is far worse than any migraine according to my brother and he's a twin. Unfortunately this condition has has led to my brother being hospitalized twice in the last six months. There are medications that can mute the symptoms, but there is no known cure. If any of our NOAA gender producers out there have experience with it or suggestions on how to deal with it, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Email HPPDinfo, HPPDinfo at gmail.com.

1:12:24 On a higher note, you can precede the mental health karma with a mac and cheese. I love bugs and the foamer clip. Adam, my brother and I share a birthday with you September 3rd, my mom Karen's birthday September 7th, and my friend Griff's birthday is September 11th. He hit me in the mouth three years ago. So happy birthday to all of the above. Thank you for your courage. Wow, Brendan, soon-to-be Sir BT. What a story. And I have a feeling that there's a large section of our audience that will have some ideas. As I see what's handed to me sometimes in envelopes at meetups I think people know what's going on, but this doesn't this sounds I mean I've heard of LSD flashbacks, but to have them like Continuously what that's a true nightmare. Yeah, have you ever dropped acid John?

1:13:15 Back in the day? Dropped it? Where would I drop it? Come on man, isn't that how you... a lid? Did you lick a lid? Did you drop some A? Some acid? Dropped? I dropped it in the river. Have you ever experienced? Oh, I'm not... I'm not saying for insurance purposes. Living the Mac and Cheese Life Mac and Cheese by Ayn Rand We eat bugs. You eat bugs. Mmm, nothing like fresh-cut bugs. You wanna try? Ooh, thanks! I love bugs! Oh my God! Listen to that horn!

1:14:53 I think we should put him on. Okay, I shall add him there. And he's doing great. A few shows ago, a producer needed some karma for his new human resource that is on the NICU and I wanted to send a note of encouragement. Emmett was born with Pierre Robin sequence in our small hospital here in Kona. Within six hours, he and I were medevaced to Honolulu. He was then on life support waiting for an insurance bigwigs to approve a transfer. Yeah, yeah, I know exactly what this is typical. Yeah, yeah, this is worse than government. Anyway, what he is worse than government because of profit motive. He needed what he needed couldn't be done in Hawaii. Thank God for the Ronald McDonald house, Judd Hillside Road on Judd Hillside Road. And the keeper indeed is a keeper for all she does.

1:15:48 The doctors here wanted to send him home with a lifetime of feeding tubes and life support in his future. Fortunately, being builders on the luxurious Kona coast, my father and I knew some folks with real pull. Calls were made. Then jackpot. Meta... What do you think this is? Meta... MetaVact. Okay, so he's medevaced again. Okay medevaced halfway across the Pacific to UCSF best hospital on the west coast Benioff Children's Hospital Mission Bay. Thank God. What an amazing place while in San Francisco We are housed and taken care of by the family house charities great people and JCD got our boss our box Adam Don't worry yours was on the way. Oh my god is karma. Well, what box did you get a box? Okay, thanks

1:16:39 Emmett got his karma and then he got his surgery. Not only that, but Buzzkill even noticed what a babe my wife is, which really lifted her up during the tough time. Ever since Adam read my boots on the ground family report about the bunk The bunk missile or the bullshit missile alert. I knew this no agenda thing was a huge family. The last year really proved it. Having listened since I heard Adam on InfoWars, thank you sir. Doocifer. Doocifer.

1:17:16 May I humbly ask for a de-douching for... I forgot to ask for my first donation. You can give me that now. You've been de-douched. My kids Reagan, Tristan and Emmett would love these jingles. Putin, don't worry be happy. It's true. And a plain goat karma. Finally, a huge health karma to all those in need, young and old. This shit works. Mahalo, Chris. It's true. And then all of these services, like certainly Ronald McDonald House, is really fantastic. No matter if, and this is a great thing about it, rich, poor, doesn't matter. They'll take you in. Of course, you know, they would like you to support them when you leave if you can. But they do great work keeping families close.

1:18:04 Cal Parker $200 I have a good list today, I have to say. Yes, cute. Gentlemen, great shows as always. I'm going through some shit and would really use some karma wrapped up in a goat, please. Those goats have always put a smile on my face. Keep up the outstanding work. Okay, here it is, Kyle. You've got karma. I admit, you just want to love them.

Cursive Writing Styles, Social Security Disability Struggles

A 71-year-old donor's handwritten note prompts a discussion on the history of cursive writing, including the Palmer Method and distinct French longhand styles. The donor describes her struggle to get Social Security disability approval for her daughter and the health impacts of pharmaceutical drugs. The hosts reflect on the difficulty of navigating government bureaucracy for families in need.

1:18:52 Now finally, last but not least is Dame 4N Lady B4 from Dackalup, Georgia. Comes with 200 questions. She wrote a note. And I have to make a comment about the assumptions. It's a long note. I'm not gonna, I'll probably read most of it. She says, she has a note on the note, a little post-it note. I tried to write big to help you read my writing. All right. The size is not the issue. This is the writing big, big giant letters. I'm not like 90, but this is like people who go to Europe and they think that you will understand English if they shout at you. Yes.

1:19:40 It doesn't work. People do not understand English if you shout at them louder or softer or whatever you do. So writing big isn't the problem. She has a nice hand, but it's a little bit... I don't know if it's old-fashioned, but she has a lot of usages that you don't see much. You see it's like trying to read if you know there's different kinds of longhand that's people don't realize and when you learn different different theories of it I forgot the one that America's normally used but it's definitely not the same one that French use for example if Whoops hold on. I think your mic is coming undone. I could I could hear it is it did it fall off the stand or did you fall off? I got a wire

1:20:24 I got a wire twisted around my foot and in moving my foot it pulled the gear down to the floor so I put it back. I'll try to be more careful. Yes. Anyway, so the French, I can't remember, somebody in this chat room may know what is called our form of longhand but the French form is so alien, it's impossible for an American to use. Yes, our form is cursive. No, it's cursive. It's a name, it's somebody's name. I can almost hat into that. Nestle Toolhouse. Anyway, dear John and Adam, it's with a great pleasure I enclose my donation of 200 bucks in hopes of my

1:21:07 71st birthday. Okay. This is a very old form of longhand, which is not used by anybody. Palmer method. Does that mean Palmer? Yes. Thank you. The Palmer may be the newer version of what she's writing. Okay. So she's 71. She needs to be on the birthday list. This is, uh, you got her name there. Her actual name. She doesn't see, say she wants to be anonymous, but it's, Susan, you can say Susan. Is she already on the list? No, why would she be? I'm reading this note now. Nobody knows about this but me. So it's just, oh sorry, it's just Susan? Yeah, Susan, well you can use her name. Oh, just, okay, Dame. 4N. Alright.

1:21:54 Day four and before I know that part how old is she? 71 and what what day? Says second tomorrow. Oh, okay. Got it. She's on the list as I'm begin my 72nd trip around the Globe some the Sun the Sun the Sun the Sun the Sun I wish all better this cursive reading from distance than you are Well, okay, I'm gonna I can take a picture of this as an S and then it looks like an eye and then it looks like an E and then it looks like an M Spins Syrian no son. No, no, I wish all the know just this was the best for their For their something I was delighted to have had the pleasure of meeting Adam At the London meetup in

1:22:46 June, with the other dames and knights. I truly was delighted. She was in London, sadly, and she lives in Georgia. Sadly, my attendance was cut short as my grandchildren needed to get back. Ah yes, I remember her. And her grandkids, no, I remember her very well. Fantastic lady. Her grandkids are all with her and they're going like, Grandma has lost the effing plot. What are we doing? Who are these people? Who's that guy with the Tourette's? I mean they had no idea like they were tripping. They're like, Grandma, we think we need to take you home because these people don't seem very safe. It was hilarious.

1:23:30 She says their daughters, they got out of there. My usual impairment is due to big pharma drugs, specifically Plaquenil or something, which cause my blindness. I listened to your show on both Thursdays and after, often hit people in the mouth myself, okay? This is finally the best paid Best pad best something. Oh, that's the best podcast This is the best podcast in the universe play me the jingles Karma and I'm specifically struggling to support my disability disabled daughter while writing for her

1:24:22 writing for her to see to pursue she can be approved by Social Security. It's okay. And let me tell you, let me tell you this I happen to know that is the social security services. If you have a child that actually has something in this child is white, you got big problems. It's not easy to get any of the right forms to be on any kind of services for these children. I've seen it time and time again. It's infuriating. The people camping are your neighbors, but this kid, screw him. It's very hard. There's something, well, there's a lot of things messed up. But I feel her pain in that regard. I have some close experience with that. It's sad. The paperwork. Okay, well she wraps it up and says that, uh...

1:25:11 She wants you have to go to attend another if there's another meetup in Georgia as long as it's outside of Atlanta And she wants to go to Duluth Duluth. I guess Duluth, Georgia. That's where she lives. I'm guessing Yes, that's where she lives anyway Thank you for both for all you do for so many around the world and don't forget Canada's federal elections in October And that was no jingles no karma apparently give her a will give her a car. Yeah. She needs a car. Oh You've got karma. Great note. Appreciate that. Yeah, I know. We'll say there is these different longhand theories, cursive as they like to call it.

I can't read this Can you tell someone's personality from the way they write cursive? I Theoretically, maybe. I mean they say you can't. I just got another notice they want to reboot my computer. No, no, no, no. Let me thank, while you're trying to stop that, let me thank these executive producers and associate executive producers for supporting episode 1169 of your podcast. We call it the NOAHgender Show. According to the Mueller Report, it is the best podcast in the universe.

1:26:37 Because it's yours you support it. You really put it together. We're just the conduits, okay? We come with some experience and how to do that, but this system has been working. It's been working relatively well for all involved and in our second donation segment today on the show we're talking a little bit about some of the meetups that are taking place and how important those are in this fantastic experiment we call the No Agenda Show. So again, thank you. These credits are real. You can use them anywhere credits are accepted for our executive producers and associate executive producers and you can be one too. Please remember to go to the following website address to support us. Dvorak.org

Yes, this is fucked up. Shut up. Sleep. I have, uh... I ha- You know what I have? I have a lousy British accent. I don't have a lazy British accent. But all I have is a reason to open the gates. To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates. That's right. It's time to open up the climate gate one more time. When did we start using that climate gate jingle? Can you recall?

Michael Mann Libel Lawsuit, Hockey Stick Graph Dismissal

A long-standing libel lawsuit filed by climatologist Michael Mann against Dr. Tim Ball was dismissed with prejudice by a Canadian judge. Mann, the creator of the famous "hockey stick" temperature graph, was ordered to pay Ball's legal costs after failing to produce underlying data for the court. The hosts discuss the implications of this ruling for the global warming debate and the transparency of climate science.

1:28:10 Just at least eight years ago. Let me see. It's an oldie. Yeah, one of our first. Yeah, let me see if I can just... I'll tell you when it was. It was during the climate gate era. Right. I'm just looking to see if I have a... I don't have a time stamp on this. So that jingle has got to be from 2008-2009. If you'll recall, there was a lawsuit Oh yeah, this is great. I should have got a clip on this. Well, I have a couple clips. Good. Yes. So Michael Mann is the quote-unquote inventor of the hockey stick graph, of the graph that shocked the world in 2001, that certainly helped Al Gore bring his inconvenient truth movement to the masses. Oh yeah, Gore has made millions off of that hockey stick.

1:29:01 And in the ClimateGate papers we were able to see that there was fudging going on, which has since then been painted over as, you're an idiot, you're a conspiracy theory, that didn't happen, we didn't do any of that, this was all real, whereas they were... Well, go ahead. I do want to say this. that when that happened, that climate gate operation which was in England and they, somebody, some hacker had unveiled all these emails showing all these numbers aren't working out, let's just fudge them and they jimmied the numbers.

1:29:38 actually mark the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned. And I, and things are really not gone. I mean, they still talk a big game and everybody's on, you know, doing their best, but I think the movement is set for the radical lefts and lefties and the, and the dummies and the people that are scared of stickers at their university. Uh, most people are just giving up on it. Um, well, a doctor, uh, dr ball, stated publicly that Michael Mann was full of crap and that his hockey stick is fraudulent. To which Michael Mann sued Dr. Ball for slander. So the story we receive, which you will not hear a lot about I think in the mainstream M5M because it does not behoove their agenda,

1:30:32 It kind of broke the whole idea of this global warming propaganda to bits and the judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice and told Michael Mann that he has to pay court costs and other costs to Dr. Ball for this bogative lawsuit that he that he had saddled, saddled up, teed up, lined up. So it wasn't the The guy, it wasn't Dr. Ball saying, hey, I don't believe you and suing him. No, it was Michael Mann himself who put this hockey stick in the first IPCC report. He sued. I'm defending my honor. So let's get some details exactly on what went down. I have a three-parter here and we start with

Dr. Tim Ball Interview, Climate History Rewriting

In a featured audio clip, Dr. Tim Ball explains his defense against Michael Mann's lawsuit, alleging that Mann "rewrote climate history" by removing the Medieval Warm Period from his models. Ball claims Mann grafted modern instrumental temperature records onto cherry-picked tree ring data to create the illusion of unprecedented warming. The segment criticizes the UN IPCC for using the hockey stick graph as a primary tool for climate policy.

1:31:20 Now this was the Danielle Smith podcast. If you want anything good these days, you can barely get it from M5M, certainly not on this topic. So this is the very Dr. Ball who was sued and won against Michael Mann, who sued him for slander. And this is kind of the intro. Let me tell you, I just want to read out what Michael Mann's response to the initial reporting was. He said there have been some wildly untruthful claims about the recent dismissal of libel litigation against Tim Paul. circulating on social media. Here's our statement. right of appeal. My lawyers will be reviewing the judgment. We will make a decision within 30 days. The provision in the court's order relating to cost does not mean that I will pay Ball's legal fees. This ruling absolutely does not involve any finding that Ball's allegations were correct in fact or amounted to legitimate comment in making his application based on delay. Ball effectively told the world he did not want a verdict on the real issues of the lawsuit. So that's his comment. What's your counter comment to that? Well the counter comment is that I did want a

1:32:34 He's the one, we had a court time scheduled for February 20th of 2017. We were scheduled to be in court. He canceled it. He delayed it, not me. And so he's the one that's consistently delayed it. And he's had, he's had now what, almost nine years to produce his evidence and he hasn't done it. And the court ruling in the dismissal said that he made all sorts of claims and provided no evidence to support his claims. So what he's interpreted there is the complete opposite of the facts.

1:33:10 So it's important to hear how it's going to be spun in the media, but it seems kind of like our Dr. Ball is the hero of this and he came out on top. So here's the background. Well, it was a combination of both of those. The comment about being in Penn State is what he listed in his defamation suit saying that by saying that he should be in state pen, I was implying that he was a criminal. And of course, actually, I do think he's a criminal. And the reason I'd say that is because Michael Mann was the guy that

1:33:49 literally rewrote climate history. You see, one of the problems that these people that have pushed human-caused global warming all along has been that people like me who knew what the climate history was said, hey, you know, a thousand years ago it was much warmer than today in a period called the medieval warm period. And there was there was no possible way that that could have been created by humans. This was a natural cycle. And so, and there's actually, I have an email from a professor, Deming, D-E-M-I-N-G. And he said, I wrote an article that was questioning the hockey stick.

1:34:29 And he said, I got an email from one of the perpetrators of it saying, you know, we've got to get rid of that medieval warm period. In other words, we've got to rewrite the history. And that's exactly what they did. Is your microphone reattached? It sounded like you were messing with it. Is it working? I'm good. OK. I just I'd heard a lot of Here's the final clip of this. So what he did was he took the modern instrumental temperature record and grafted it on to the end of the tree ring record. It sounds like you're saying he cherry-picked a particular tree sample that gave him the data that he wanted for the early part of the record and then used the latest temperature data grafted on to create this this this huge spike. The blade, yeah. And of

1:35:19 course, the thing is, when you look at that blade, that sudden upturn in temperature that he has is the blade of his hockey stick. It's the accuracy of it is plus or minus 33 percent. OK, so how did this become the iconic graph that everybody referred to and that has driven so much of the climate discussion? Because because these people were being paid and worked at the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. and that their goal was to show that humans were causing global warming and climate change, and therefore they created the data that justified that. And of course the hockey stick showed, oh, until these humans and their industry appeared in the 1880s, the temperature was going down slightly and was almost level. And then, oh, suddenly, boom, there it is. That's proof that humans are the cause. That's the whole objective of everything they've done.

1:36:13 Climate change is real! Yeah. Yeah, never. Of course they're not going to book him. Of course not. You got to go to podcasts. They should be booked. Why don't they book him? You got to go to podcasts to get some real information these days. Unbelievable. Nobody wants to take the... And it seems like a perfectly good thing to talk about seeing as, you know, this is a lot of the genesis of the hysteria that we're in now. I mean, if that's being questioned, you should at least report on it, but no.

CHAPTER 27 / 44 Discussion

Hurricane Dorian Forecast, Scooter-nado Satire

Hurricane Dorian, a Category 4 storm, is projected to hit the Bahamas with 150 mph winds before potentially skirting the Florida coast. The hosts mock the inaccuracy of "spaghetti" weather models and joke about a "Scooter-nado" occurring if the storm hits Austin, Texas, and lofts thousands of dockless electric scooters into the air.

hurricane dorian· bahamas· florida· weather models· electric scooters· storm surge

1:36:51 Which is why if you read the whole thing you'll see multiple times in the Mueller report that no agenda is the best podcast in the universe. Yes, by yes by omission. By omission. And the gate closes up. Bye-bye, gate. Bye-bye, birdies. Bye-bye, climate. Now, meanwhile, of course, you have this Dorian coming down the coast. Yeah, I find this whole thing suspicious. And they got all the graphs going every which way. They don't even... Yeah. It's the worst spaghetti... It could go this... No, wait. It started with... Puerto Rico's gonna die! Oh, wait a minute. It... Oh, it missed it. Okay. Florida!

1:37:31 It's like and does anyone see the the joke in this that all their computer models and we're all gonna die in 12 years It's it's even a terrorizing children. Sorry can't resist I worrying like climate change and things like that. We're all gonna die. I had this fact that if we don't do anything now in 2040, it will be the first year with no ice in the Arctic. Yeah, we're all gonna die. No ice in the Arctic. No ice in the Arctic. Well here's the Dorian report so we can get a little clue what's going on to keep people on the East Coast satisfied. Forecasters now say Hurricane Dorian may head north and east in the next few days, skirting along the coast of Florida where warnings are still in place and heading toward coastal Georgia and the Carolinas.

1:38:27 The hurricane is now a category four and is projected to hit the northwestern Bahamas sometime in the next 24 hours with winds approaching 150 miles per hour. Florida is still in Dorian's potential path, and it may bring strong winds and life-threatening storm surge to Georgia and South Carolina early next week. But before the hurricane reaches the US mainland, it is forecast to slow down and drop as much as four feet of rain over the Bahamas this weekend. The prime minister there urged residents in the storm's path to evacuate. Yeah, so they don't know which direction it's going. This is a very slow mover though, which is kind of like Hugo, which is relatively new in the hurricane development world. Well, that's what they're telling us. I'm not sure that's true. Oh yeah, of course, who the hell knows?

1:39:14 There is now at Miami I guess it's not gonna it seems like they're safe now. Yeah, Miami's gonna be fine. Well, they were scrambling to get all the scooters rounded up Wow, I think a tornado and those scooters would be a bad mix. Can you imagine a tornado which has more sucking power because it's concentrated? Going over some little town like let's say any town that's got a bunch of scooters. Austin. And sucking all the scooters up into the air and then throwing scooters all over the place. It's Scooter-nado! Scooter-nado.

CHAPTER 28 / 44 Discussion

Netherlands Power Grid Capacity, Robotic Chicken Processing

The Netherlands is facing a power grid crisis as the push for electrification and the removal of natural gas from homes exceeds the grid's capacity. The hosts discuss the unintended consequences of green energy policies and a report on robotic chicken processing plants in the country. A local source claims the shift to robotics was driven by a lack of migrant labor rather than environmental concerns.

netherlands· power grid· electric vehicles· natural gas· robotics· labor shortage

1:39:50 Yeah, but you don't think about those things. Well, we just did. If it came by Austin, you'd have scooters flying through the air and people experiencing homelessness. And poop. And tents. Oh, we're going downhill pretty quick on this one. Poop-nado! Yeah, I just want to mention one thing. A report came through over the weekend from the Netherlands just staying on Green New Deal, climate change, etc. Now what have we been looking at with the Netherlands specifically? Are really trying to get rid of natural gas no more homes being built with gas So if you want to heat your home if you want hot water Anything and no gas you want to cook your screw. It's gonna all gonna be electric So they've been pushing this for a while. They've a big push on electric vehicles The Tesla's were heavily heavily subsidized I don't know how many Tesla's there are in the Netherlands, but it's quite a bit all the cabs now at the airport egg

1:40:50 All the cabs at the airport are Teslas, but people have also been put into small electric vehicles and they enjoy them. And especially for a country like the Netherlands, relatively small, you can actually get from one side of the country to the other on one full charge. You'd have to charge before you go back. But anyway, they're electrifying their society. With the recent, it's not really a heat wave, but it's been pretty hot. So I think that has something to do with it. The network, the electricity, the grid in the Netherlands is at, if not a little bit over capacity. They cannot handle the demand. They have the supply.

1:41:33 The actual grid can't handle the amount of people who now are cooking with electricity, charging with electricity, they're not heating right now. Just imagine what it's going to be like in the winter. So they have, they, the grid can't handle it. What do you do in that case? But what do you do when the grid can't... Realize that you're stupid? Yeah. There's nothing wrong with gas. Did anyone think to check and see if all this added electrical capacity, if that would... I'm sure, I am absolutely convinced that one engineer at the electric, one, probably a half dozen, all had the math and they showed the math, you know, we really can't do this.

1:42:16 Shut up, we're gonna do it anyway. Yeah, because that's what mathematicians and engineers do all day. They work on problems like you just said, and they come up with mathematical solutions, real engineering and mathematical solutions, and they present them in reports, and it says no. And they say, well, okay, well, we'll do it anyway. That's what I'm absolutely convinced of that. Well, it seems to be a problem and it looks like the Netherlands is going to be ground zero of the problem. So good. There's always a good experimental area. It's always good to mess with 17 million people. Who cares? Well, they have robotic chicken processing there in that country. It's beyond world class. In the Netherlands? Yeah. I get this lecture when I get my tour of the Netherlands from... That doesn't sound really... That doesn't sound groovy. That doesn't sound green.

1:43:16 Nobody said it was green. Yeah, there's this big giant chicken packer that we're going by and there's a bunch of trucks coming out of these huge monsters trucks of chicken. Yeah. And I said, they had a lot of chicken. He said, they eat a lot of chicken. He says, yeah, they eat a lot of chicken. He says, and those factories are all robotic. And I said, what? Why? He says, because we can't get Mexican workers here. Did he really say that? Yep. Oh, that's bad. So we ended up dreaming up all these robots to do the job. So, you know, if it's cheaper or more expensive, I would guess it's more expensive, but I'm not sure. But that's what he said. Yes. And I'm sorry I brought it up. Let's talk a little bit about about Biden. OK.

CHAPTER 29 / 44 Discussion

David Brooks on Trump Mental Fitness

David Brooks discussed President Trump's mental fitness on PBS, citing verbal patterns and factual errors regarding his father's birthplace and Melania Trump's relationship with Kim Jong-un. The hosts analyze Brooks' commentary, noting that while Trump's statements are often inaccurate, the media's focus on his psychological state has become a recurring theme.

david brooks· pbs· donald trump· mental fitness· g7 summit· kim jong-un

1:44:02 First of all, I do have one deconstruction of the major Biden gaffe and then another Biden gaffe. And I have Brooks and Shields, but mostly Brooks, talking about a couple of items that I think are worth discussing. So let me do it this way. Let's play Brooks. Trump is losing it. on PBS. You look back on the G7, again, the meeting in France last weekend, and it was more characterized by tension that he had with other world leaders than by any sense that anything was getting done. Yeah, it's a sort of part of the course for G7 summits, but I think what struck me this week was how the debate changed around Donald Trump. There's been whispering, is he mentally not as fit as he was?

1:44:49 Our impairments rising that somehow seemed to rise and now become public conversation when he said his father was born in Germany When your father was born in the Bronx, that's not something you normally get wrong That his wife is good friends with the North North Korean leader when she'd never met him and there's just a lot of things coming out of his mouth and this has always been a case, but the the verbal patterns Psychiatrists are not allowed to judge people they haven't met. But there are certainly a lot of people out there raising a lot of red flags. So that to me, among the tumult of the political tumult of the G7, the psychological tumult is almost one of the key takeaways. You know, just on that one point about what Trump said that the first lady had met Kim Jong-un also liked him. Because I saw that whole speech.

1:45:37 And I didn't think much of it. I'm like, well, that's interesting. I didn't know that she met him. That's, I don't know, possible, I guess. What is that? Because to me, the way he said it on stage and the fact that it was a blatant lie, it's pathological. I hate to say it because I still love the guy, but it sounds like something Ron Bloom would say. Not that that means anything to anybody but you and I. But we know someone who is like this. Yeah. What is that? I mean, why the why did what is going on with that? That's a pathological liar. There's a bunch of them out there. They're crawling all over the place. I'm always skeptical of them. I'm very I always try to avoid them. But the thing about this is just piling on and it's and he's and yeah, that was a stupid thing to say. But this think about his dad being born in Germany is not new. But if we had a clip of that, that's two years ago. But I thought

1:46:36 Well, his heritage is... was his grandfather born in Germany? Yeah, no, he's German. This is a German family. Yeah. The Drumps. Yes, the drumfs. Yeah, right. So he's brought this up, but then when he goes on and he said, then Brooks is, they turn it around because then they bring in these Biden gaffes. And I'm going to decide I'm going to play the Biden gaffes at the end. Which makes a lot of sense because you know, you got, here's Trump, he looks well. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to you, but you're not David Brooks who's posing as a Republican apologist. Oh, I'm sorry. I should have known better. He's a harsh Democrat. Yes, what am I thinking?

CHAPTER 30 / 44 Discussion

Joe Biden War Stories, Memory vs. Mendacity

David Brooks defended Joe Biden's conflated war stories, attributing them to the "jostling" of the campaign trail rather than intentional lying. The hosts criticize this double standard, arguing that Biden's embellishments are often designed to improve his dramatic effect and personal image. They compare Biden's storytelling to other public figures like Brian Williams and Hillary Clinton.

joe biden· david brooks· war stories· afghanistan· silver star· campaign trail

1:47:12 So let's listen to the way he handles pretty much the same kind of, and I would say that Biden is no different than Trump. He's also a pathological liar and he's also full of crap. But it's different apparently with him. A comparison here, but David this week there was attention to Joe Biden because he's been telling a story about meetings he had with US American veterans who were fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan and telling a very emotional, compelling stories about pinning a medal on them, you know, and how one was, you know, retrieved a buddy from a burning vehicle and another one rappelled down a

1:47:54 down a cliff and so forth. But it turns out these are different things that happen jumbled together with some, you know, there's been some are saying this should this should be connected and compared to the president. Others saying in no way. Oh, I think in no way. I mean, I mean, Biden may be aging. Maybe that's an issue, I think it's a legitimate issue for voters to think about. But he's not mendacious, he's not irresponsible, he may embellish a story to improve its dramatic effect. And he may be forgetting things. Our memories are just much more fallible than we think. Every memory expert will tell you that. And when you're on the campaign trail doing thousands of events, traveling everywhere, things get jostled in your mind. So it could be just the normal jostling of campaign, and for some reason we've gotten into a pattern where Biden gaffe is the story.

1:48:39 Yeah, okay. Well, the one he did that I think they're referring to here was pretty amazing. I mean, it was like five stories put together. It was great. I have, this is the deconstructed one. This is the Biden story deconstructed. It's the whole thing with some commentary and I think they did a pretty good job on it. But I want to go back to what Brooke said. You know, oh, he's getting old and maybe he's making mistakes and maybe he's too busy, as if Trump isn't. And you know, he makes these little errors and it doesn't mean anything. If you just swapped out the words Trump and Biden and those two pieces and flipped them back and forth, you could see, you can do just the opposite. You could say just the opposite. He's just trying to lie to us so he can make himself look better.

1:49:27 This story about him giving the medals to the guys make because Brooks that that thing goes on longer and he says well Biden never lies to make himself look better like Trump does and that's all he does. That's exactly what he does. So does Brian Williams at MSNBC. So does Hillary Clinton under fire. I mean, yeah. And you know what? I'm sure I do it myself sometimes. But I'm more disgusted by PBS allowing this guy to continue with this two faced kind of approach to news analysis. This is not helping anybody. It's just it's just fanning the flames as far as I'm concerned. But let's listen to the long Biden story deconstructed clip. When you put your money in the bank and just sit there.

CHAPTER 31 / 44 Discussion

Biden Medal Story Deconstruction, "Word as a Biden"

The Washington Post deconstructed a story Joe Biden frequently tells about pinning a Silver Star on a Navy captain in Afghanistan's Kunar Valley. Fact-checkers found that Biden conflated three different events, misidentified the soldier's rank, and was a Senator rather than Vice President at the time. Despite the inaccuracies, Biden maintained that the "central point" of the story was accurate.

joe biden· washington post· afghanistan· silver star· fact check· kunar province

1:50:13 It goes out in the world and shh. What? Well, that's a commercial you recorded. It's a powerful story former Vice President Joe Biden tells on the campaign trail, including just six days ago. But according to the Washington Post, it's actually a story that's made up of three different events that Biden has conflated into a single incident. Take a listen. I've been in and out of Afghanistan and Iraq over 30 times. I've pinned medals on, silver stars on soldiers up in the upper Konar Valley in the middle of a firestorm the poor guys have gone through. Young Navy captain, Navy, Navy, up in the mountains in the Konar Valley in Afghanistan.

1:50:56 One of his buddies got shot, fell down a ravine about 60 feet. Four-star general asked me whether I'd go up into the FOB. Now everybody got concerned, the vice president going up in the middle of this, but we can lose a vice president. We can't lose many more of these kids. Not a joke. This guy climbed down a ravine, carried this guy up on his back under fire, and the general wanted me to pin the silver star on him. I got up there and said, it's the God's truth, my word is abiding. He stood at attention. I went... Hold on. I hadn't heard that. My word as a Biden. Okay. And by the way, for those who are wondering, FOB is Forward Operating Base. And those are no joke to get to. So, yes. But his word is... I think I need to do that. Did you take that cookie? My word as a Biden. I did not. Yeah, I should have clipped it out. Yeah. I got up there and stand. It's the God's truth. My word as a Biden. He stood at attention. I went to pin him. I said, sir, I don't want the damn thing.

1:51:58 Do not put it on me, sir. Please, sir, do not do that. He died. He died. The Washington Post found that Biden was a senator, not the vice president, when he visited Kunar province, Afghanistan in 2008. The service member honored in that instance was an army specialist, not a Navy captain. And Biden did not pin the medal on him. Biden did award the bronze star to then Staff Sergeant Chad Workman in 2011 for his heroic actions in Afghanistan. Biden responded to the Charleston Post and Courier late this afternoon saying, quote, I don't understand what they're talking about, but the central point is it was absolutely accurate what I said. The story was that he refused the medal because the fella tried to save and risked his life saving

1:52:45 saving died. That's the beginning, middle and end. The rest of you guys can take it and do what you want with it. No, brother Joe. Yeah, that's bad. But my favorite one, though, I know it's a very short clip, but my favorite Biden gaffe, which is another one of this, just a flub, which Trump does to. But this is my all-time favorite so far. And these kids who come and they end up doing well, they become Americans before a lot of Americans become Americans. No, I'm serious. They get in school, they do well, they contribute to the community, they contribute to the country. Yeah, bend over, here it comes. They're time shifters, I tell ya.

1:53:32 These kids are fabulous! They're great! I'm serious! I swear, my word is abiding! Brooks was on Book TV. You know, I'm writing my book so I gotta get into the vibe of stuff and I'm watching Book TV to see what my fellow authors are up to. So Brooks is pushing a new book, a new Brooks book. And I clipped it for you because you're always bitching about Brooks. And just so I understand, he is a Republican, right? No. Oh, I thought he was a Republican. He pretends to be a Republican and he's on that thing to balance the Republican Democrat. But he's not an act, he's not a claim, a proclaimed Republican. As far as I know, he's not a registered Republican and I believe he once said he was a registered Democrat.

CHAPTER 32 / 44 Discussion

David Brooks on Democratic Strategy, Never-Trumper Bias

In an interview on Book TV, David Brooks expressed optimism that President Trump will lose the 2020 election, advising Democrats to "go with the bland" to ensure a victory. Brooks admitted he has no desire to be in the same room as the President, leading the hosts to label him a "Never-Trumper" whose reporting is compromised by personal bias.

david brooks· book tv· never-trump· democratic party· 2020 election· house of representatives

1:54:21 I got this clip just for you. I thought you'd get a kick out of it, so I hope you do. So you spend a lot of time on television talking about politics and when you were writing your column and you are writing it still, you were fairly critical of, I think it was candidate Trump, maybe it's President Trump, I can't remember. You were critical of maybe both. So what is your view on the likelihood of President Trump will get reelected? I have actually a cheerier view than a lot of my Democratic friends. I think the guy's at 40% and he's offended 60%. I mean, I take it stupidly. That's not good. And so I'm more optimistic that he will lose than a lot of the Democrats I hang around with.

1:55:02 When you write any critical articles of him, do you ever hear from him? Does he ever call you and say, I don't like that article? No, he used to tweet about me, but I've never had any contact with him. I'm very happy not to. I really don't want to be in the same room with a guy. And so what is your view on the likelihood the Democrats will retain control of the House or get control of the Senate? As I say, well, I do think the Democrats, you know, when we see what I think is a pretty big advantage for the Democrats, of course, knowing the party, the main question is, I wonder how they're going to find a way to screw this up. And so I, you know, if I were advising the Democrats, which I'm sure is advice they'd love to get, I would say just go with the bland. Like the number one job is to get Trump out of office.

1:55:54 So he's a never-trumper, that's really what he is. A never-trumper. And he wouldn't even go, he wouldn't want to be in the same room with the guy. What kind of a reporter? This is the kind of reporting and reporters and columnists that we have at the highest levels now. They don't want to be in the same room with the guy. These are the same types of people. New York Times. Yeah, and these are the same kind of people that say, oh, WikiLeaks, they should be shut down because heaven forbid they dig up stuff that we can use in news stories. John, you're just not evolved. Yeah, apparently not. That's your problem. I know. I should be more obsessed by stickers. I have a multi-parter I'd like to fit in before our next break. It's about big pharma. And you'll like it because it's about schooling, public school and homeschooling.

CHAPTER 33 / 44 Discussion

Pharmaceutical Drugging of Children, Ritalin and Prozac

Former teacher Barbie Rivera shares her experience with the over-medication of children in the public school system, noting that her own son was labeled "mentally handicapped" in first grade. She describes seeing five-year-olds who have been on Prozac for half their lives and the "shell of a body" effect these drugs have on young children. Rivera now runs an accredited private school that focuses on drug-free education.

1:56:45 And this is from another podcast and it may bring a couple of things around. Clearly Joe has some mental issues. Certainly Trump has behavioral issues. This is behavioral health and mental health week on the No Agenda Show. But what's going on with our kids? And this may also kind of come around to some of these school shootings. What is really happening with them? So on the addiction podcast, which I don't subscribe to, one of our producers sent this to me, got time codes. They weren't exactly what I wanted, but I was able to skirt around and pull out some good clips. They interviewed Barbie Rivera, who was a public school teacher 28 years ago.

1:57:30 And she now runs a private school, which is really a homeschool for a few kids in her community. But she starts off talking about, and this is 28 years ago, about her own son. And this may ring true for a number of people who are listening to the show right now. 28, 29 years ago, a certified teacher told my first grader told me about my first grader that he was mentally handicapped and he needed to be drugged. And I was like, I can't believe that that's the The solution no tutoring no extra work nothing But they were already with the list of medications that he should go on now Of course, we know what this medication is because we've talked about it for at least 10 years Ritalin is what was the big thing 28 years ago your your kid and it's always the boys

1:58:24 He's a little annoying. He's running around like a nut job. Well, we need to do something and here's her take on it. By the end of first grade, the certified establishment taught my son that he was stupid. And my son, at the time, I mean, he's bilingual. I don't speak two languages. My son spoke two languages fluently. He could go anywhere with anybody. He never had a meltdown in the grocery store. He did his chores. It was like a perfect little boy who used to run around in a cape and he's going to grow up to be a superhero firefighter and on and on. Yeah, put that kid on drugs. Which is what I think a little boy, that's what you expect of a little boy. Exactly. And then he was just shut down.

1:59:05 And it was interesting because I looked at him and I'm like, oh my God, if I don't do something, He's gonna be on drugs when he's 13 14 15 like I saw it because I have betrayed My son I sent him to a place that I did great with I did great in public school a hundred years ago Yeah, me too. You know I did the teachers loved me. There was no drugging there was no homework when you're in kindergarten none of that nonsense and But my son had a different experience. So I took him out of school and it took me two years to get my son back.

1:59:47 And not that he was taken away from her, but just to have him detox from the Ritalin. So she starts her own private school, home school, and she has kids coming to her from the community. Listen to what happened to them. Now I've been doing this for 28 years. My home school is now an accredited private school in Florida. Small, but we're out there. And the majority of the kids in my school have been on Ritalin, Prozac, Adderall. I'm talking, I have spoken to children who are five who have been on Prozac for two and a half years of their lives. Prozac. I'm like, what are we doing with a two and a half year old? Like, what are we doing? And you can see it. Like when a five year old comes into my office, I mean, my name is Barbie, so I have a Barbie doll in my office.

2:00:37 The normal five-year-old wants the toys, the stickers, all of these things. And when you have a five-year-old who comes in that has, there's no, there's a shell of a body. I, what medication? Oh, how can you tell? I'm like, how can you not? I mean, that's five year old on Prozac. That's pretty bad. But especially since they started at two and a half, which I think is, you know, they should just make it illegal. The drug contraindications on the package, you're not supposed to give this, any of this stuff to anyone under 18. So here's the kicker.

CHAPTER 34 / 44 Discussion

Drug Study Kickbacks for Educators, FIU Funding

Barbie Rivera alleges that pharmaceutical companies and Florida International University offered financial incentives to school principals for enrolling children in drug studies. She claims she was offered $100 for student contact info, $500 for mental health checklists, and $5,000 for every child successfully placed on a new medication like Intuniv. The hosts express outrage at the potential for widespread corruption in the education system.

2:01:13 So what happens when she's running this little school and the drug companies are interested in her children? This to me was, I mean I've heard this happening with doctors, but educators? Now that I have a private school I am on the list of the drug companies and every year, once, two, three times a year, they come to my school. Now I'm going to call somebody out, which could get me in trouble, but Florida International University is a university about 20 minutes away from my school. They are funded $32 million on several different drug studies on children. 32 million.

2:01:56 When Intuniv was on the market, FIU was doing a drug study because before the drug can go public. They have to do drug studies, so they need kids. So they go to the daycares, the private schools, the charter schools, the after-school programs, the public schools, and they come with their little briefcases and they come with their brochures. And I think it was 2007, I could be wrong on the date, but it was around then, that Intuniv was coming out. And there was three levels of participation for this drug study offered to me, the principal. The first level was for every name, address, and phone number I submitted to the drug study, I would get $100 cash. The cash could be to me personally because I own the school or to the school because let's face it, Barbara, you're in a shopping center. It's small and it's ugly. Quote.

2:02:48 Quote so we'll give you $100 for every student well for every name address not student every name like if I have your address I submitted I get $100 the second level of participation was if I fill out a mental health checklist I've talked about this before this is the mailing list. This is the value of a name and address. Yeah So it varies from ten to a hundred dollars wait for it address I submitted I get a hundred dollars the second level of participation was if I fill out a mental health checklist on the children and there was about 57

2:03:30 stipulations. Can't cut with scissors. Three years old, can't cut with scissors. Like, I don't give my 35 year old scissors in my house. Come on. I'm kidding. My son Damon is going to murder me, right? Anyway, so if I do a mental health checklist on my students and turn it in, I get $500 per mental health checklist. If I sit with you and I get you to put your son, your daughter, or your grandchild on this drug, I get $5,000 per child. This is unbelievable. Nice. Five. Hey, exit strategy is what I'm saying. Which is drug everybody. Five thousand dollars. By the way, I thought it was interesting that earlier in her little discussion, she talked about compulsory homework in kindergarten. I think that's the norm. Yeah, I think I've heard of this. What? Yeah, I've heard of this. Sure. That is insane.

2:04:27 More insane than getting paid $5,000 for narking a kid? $5,000 a pop. Yeah, if you have a hundred. That's a lot of money. If you have 200 students, there's a million dollars. Well, wait a minute. So can't we get, I mean, we have... We have 2,000 students, sorry. How many people do we have on the no agenda mailing list? We have... It's not that huge. 18,000? 18 to 19,000, yeah. How many of those have kids that are eligible for a program? All of them. Okay, good. So can we like send out forms and have them just sign it and send it back and then we'll split the difference with our producers? If these people had never listened to the show, they'd be glad to do it, but... Oh my goodness. We've cleared the deal. This should be outlawed.

CHAPTER 36 / 44 Discussion

Surgeon General Marijuana Warning, THC Potency

Surgeon General Jerome Adams issued a national warning against marijuana use by adolescents and pregnant women, claiming modern cannabis is significantly more potent than in previous decades. The hosts criticize the government's shifting stance on marijuana research and suggest that the warning is a precursor to stricter federal regulation of THC levels in legal markets.

surgeon general· marijuana· thc· jerome adams· adolescent health· regulation

2:08:35 No, no, let's go back to Fox. They're all on the anti-weed train now. Federal health officials are issuing a national warning against marijuana use by adolescents and pregnant women. Surgeon General Jerome Adams says the science shows marijuana is harmful to the developing brains of teenagers and to the human fetus. He also says marijuana is getting stronger. Today's marijuana is far more potent than in days past. The amount of THC, the component responsible for euphoria and intoxication but also for most of marijuana's documented harms has increased.

2:09:25 I've heard from the government all my life is, we haven't tested it sufficiently. Now we have documented harms. But wait, there's a slogan. Marijuana's documented harms has increased three to five fold over the last few decades. This ain't your mother's marijuana. That's the Surgeon General of the United States. This ain't your mother's marijuana. Wow. I mean, come on. By the way, I missed it. You nailed it. They have made a fuss over not being able to do any research whatsoever because the hoops you have to jump through to be able to even get some marijuana to research it.

2:10:04 is outrageous. All the research has been done in Israel. And the Israeli guy who's ahead of it, he says he's never documented any harm. So this is lies. The warning comes as legal marijuana has grown into a $10 billion industry in the US with nearly two-thirds of states legalizing it, mainly for medical use. I think that where they're moving is towards regulation of amount of THC. That's what it feels like to me. I think there are already some guidelines or maybe even strict guidelines for medical marijuana, but they're going to want to

2:10:43 Yeah, they're going to want to determine how much THC is in your weed. Already, most people that I talk to in California and Oregon, they say that the store-bought weed is shit. They already don't think it's very good. So I'm not sure exactly what the message is here or what they're trying to do, but more control is obviously where it will be headed because this ain't your mother's marijuana! Which is stolen from your daddy's Oldsmobile commercial. It's just, it's pathetic. It is pathetic. It's a plant, ladies and gentlemen. It's a flower! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda!

CHAPTER 37 / 44 Discussion

Birthday Donations, Anniversary Tributes

The hosts read a series of $55 donations in honor of Adam Curry's 55th birthday, as well as a 15th-anniversary tribute from a listener to her husband. The segment reinforces the "value for value" model and the personal connections within the listener community.

When was Kennedy shot? He was shot November 3rd, I believe. 1963. Yeah. Okay. So what, you go nine months further. All these people aren't the same age. I'm just saying something happened. Well, how do you know?

2:13:22 Well, I just believe it. Okay. All right. You're the one that said something happened for the baby boom. So I'm no, I think there's something happened. Maybe for that one year, it could have been Kennedy being shot. Oh, let's have sex. Weird to me, but okay. Hey, I wasn't around. So I don't know how people felt. Maybe people want to feel close to one another. All right, well, you know what you were not doing then? Michael asked Falk, 5533, Sir Christopher Barron of Brown County in De Pere, Wisconsin, which has a, I should be pronouncing that correctly, 5510, double nickels on the dime. Tim Lang, double nickels on the dime from Mount Prospect, Illinois. He needs a Jobs Karma, which we'll do. We'll do a Jobs Karma.

Which was our other promotion. Oh, these are all the birthday ones from here on out Dame Rachel starts it off 55 this donation this gimmick worked

People are trying to get this off the ground in one form or the other and we encourage that because it does work.

And? And I want to read this note before we go on to what you're going to do next. This is from Annie N. who sent us a donation. I was recently tried but we never read anything. And she had a certain call out she wanted to do.

No Agenda Meetups, Face-to-Face Communication

Reports from a successful meetup in Victoria, BC, highlight the importance of face-to-face communication in an era of polarized social media. The hosts list upcoming meetups in Seattle, Calgary, Zurich, Orlando, and Pittsburgh, encouraging listeners to gather and discuss topics freely. A new song by Jesse Coy Nelson celebrating the meetups is played.

meetups· victoria bc· seattle· zurich· pittsburgh· community building

2:22:22 We had about 10 people all together, even a baby. Interestingly, we had one person from Washington DC and another from Russia. Clearly certain three-letter agencies are taking a big interest in our little meetup. I've attached a picture, see if you can... I believe there's... I believe... I believe a lot of these meetups are just a spook. Well, why not? I would be curious on these meetups. Of course. I've attached a picture, see if you can spot all the spooks. I think everybody had a good time, enjoyed talking to each other for a few hours about a variety of topics, including obscure techno and how we can get John to come here. We even toyed with the idea of moving the Victoria meetup to Port Angeles, Washington. I'd rather go to Victoria. I'm serious about it. Sir John over... It's got better bars.

2:23:09 Sir, John overall has offered to plan the next meetup for Saturday September 28th from 1 to 3 p.m. At the Phillips tasting room Thank you for your courage and thank all of you for your courage. It's beautiful these meetups. It's just incredibly nice to To see how that is happening in these days of nut job discourse all over social just splattering all over social networks, to have face-to-face communication without worrying if you're gonna trigger someone or step on someone's toes, and just also to listen to what someone else has to say is a lot of fun. We don't benefit from it one way or the other except that it's legacy, I think, and it's legacy for the people who've made this show possible and continue to do so. This is really bigger than

2:23:55 And I love that and so we'll continue to promote these meetups for as long as we can. I have a... Let me see, I have the latest list here that I got from the back office from Mimi. So here's what's coming up September 5th in Seattle. That's their monthly meetup at the Canterbury Alehouse starts at 7 30 p.m. And Patrick organizes that. September 6th, the first Calgary meetup. This is... Is the Stampede going on? I think they said it was. I'm not sure. I don't keep up with the stampede. I'd love to go to that though. Yeah, I've been once. I had a good time. 4.30 p.m. and that will be at the Wild Rose Tap Room and Sir Michael of Calgary in Vegas is taking care of that. September 7th. This is our Zurich late summer meetup 6.15 Central European Summer Time.

2:24:45 Just like last time in April, we'll meet up again, this time a different location. If the heads-on-a-stick PDFs are available, yes, they are downloadable now from noagendameetups.com. If you're in the Zurich area, if you're in the Zurich metro area, head over to Rivington & Sons Bar, and that's in Prime Tower, Hatshtrasche 201, Zurich. And your host for that is Rolf.

This is just, I'm blown away by how cool this is, you guys getting together with each other and just being humans, being humans. Noagendameetups.com, Jesse Coy Nelson was so excited, he made a song about our meetups. I thought it was so bad I needed to share it, if you don't mind. Living politically correct all day sure can give you grief. Taking a break from triggering worries would be a great relief. Sometimes you want to find a place where you can express any opinion you damn well please.

2:27:18 Without being treated like a pariah who's diseased. You want to be referee thinkers. They're all around. You want to be at a no agenda meetup in your town. That's right. No agenda meetups. You can even bring your cat. I'll play the whole thing end of show. It's probably a rendition of social media. You mean let's get social? Let's get social. Yeah, he should do that. He's got the right voice for it. Yeah, Mary McCormick would love it. Hey, thanks everybody. And thank you also for the support in more ways than one. Yes. Okay. So what do you got to wrap? I got a couple of things I want to get out of the way. First of all, we need to talk a little bit about the Brexit thing, which is getting funnier. Oh yes, do tell. What you got?

CHAPTER 40 / 44 Discussion

Brexit Suspension, Boris Johnson Strategy

The UK faces a countdown to the October 31st Brexit deadline as Prime Minister Boris Johnson moves to suspend Parliament. Protests have erupted across the country, with critics accusing Johnson of being anti-democratic, while supporters in the Midlands argue that Parliament is defying the 2016 referendum results. The hosts question the legal mechanics of the final exit and whether it requires a specific signature or proclamation.

brexit· boris johnson· parliament· european union· no-deal brexit· democracy

2:28:14 Well I got the general report from PBS which is just Brexit news, it's a short clip but we can actually skip that clip because there's nothing there we don't know about to the longer actually more in-depth report which is the News Hour in-depth on Brexit clip. The United Kingdom is counting down to Brexit, their exit from the European Union. With Parliament facing suspension, court cases in the works and protests like today's likely to continue. National Public Radio correspondent Frank Lengford joins us now via Skype from London for more on this developing story. The protests that we're seeing seem to be growing and they seem to be not just limited to London anymore. No, we saw them in Glasgow, in Oxford, Liverpool, other cities around the country. They weren't that big today. And I think as we get closer to the October 31st date, when there could be, the country could crash out of the EU with no deal at all, I think you'll see them grow.

2:29:04 This isn't just the people who are, well, I guess in the opposition party who are pushing back at what Boris Johnson did. Over the past couple of days we've seen members, current members of the conservative party as well as previous ones. You do and I think you have rebel members of the Tory party who also object to this. And then A lot of the objection is to the principle. We have a parliament that's sitting here. Boris Johnson is maybe going to give them five, as little as five days to come back. and try to mount a way of stopping him from taking the country out with no deal. The majority of the parliament is against this. They're on record being against this. So the idea that Boris Johnson is trying to curtail their time and power really strikes, it's a much bigger issue than just Brexit. It really strikes, many people feel the representative nature of the democracy in the country.

2:29:54 Now, similar to the United States, you've got people who support this. It's a very sort of divided or divisive issue. You went out to kind of what's called the Midlands, what we might think of as the red states, people who support leaving the European Union, right? Yeah, it's really Brexit country. And I got to say, Hari, it's like having a parallel conversation, like in a different country. When I was up in a town called Boston, for which Boston, Massachusetts is named, what everybody was telling me, this has been going on for more than three years. We feel that these anti-Brexit members of parliament are trying to defy the results of the 2016 referendum. And they say they're the ones who are being anti-democratic, not us.

2:30:35 So people are looking at this issue right now through completely different lenses in this country. And so when do we get the do-over? I'm ready. Well, the protest is, I think they're working on angles. In other words, they're trying different things to see what sticks when they get the public to... I don't know. They don't have a lot of time left. They got the month of September, which just started today. Here's what I'm curious about, and maybe some of our lawyer producers can help out. What exactly determines the exit? Is there a piece of paper that is, you know, is there an exit interview? Is there a piece of paper that has to be signed? You know, is there just something that's like, okay, I mean, what is it? Is it one signature or what is the deal?

2:31:24 Or you just say, we're done, we're not paying, see you later? Is it like a real breakup? I just wonder. I mean, are they effectively not... I mean, is it just a matter of him saying we're done? The legality of it. Is there paperwork? I know what you're saying. Is there paperwork? You don't need to change your tone of voice into different things that maybe make me understand. I have no idea. I think this is a question... That's what you think. You're right. Somebody needs to ask. It's never explained on these shows. Now you've really made me self-conscious. Well, you were working me. I feel like it's my job. But you were working me for no good reason, because I have no idea. Well, see this is a... You can beg me to tell you the answer, but I still can't tell you the answer. Well, why not? Well, I don't know! You have all the answers!

2:32:20 You gotta crack your voice better. You have all the answers! I can't. This is actually, now you got me wondering. This is why I was using different tones of voice. Possibly, uh, you ring a bell. That's what it is. Or can you just do a... It's like a Muslim divorce in the Middle East. You just say it three times. You turn your back on your wife and you do something and then you're done. Out. Or is it like a hotel where you can do electronic fast, the quick checkout on the TV? It might be like a hotel because they have already done extended stay. Yes.

CHAPTER 41 / 44 Discussion

Jeffrey Epstein Associates, Prince Andrew Deep Fake Claims

Lawyers for Prince Andrew are reportedly claiming that a famous photo of him at Jeffrey Epstein's mansion is a "deep fake." The hosts also discuss Nicole Junkermann, a German-born ex-model and Epstein associate with ties to high-level tech investments and international figures like Ehud Barak. The segment explores the ongoing investigation into Epstein's network and potential intelligence connections.

jeffrey epstein· prince andrew· nicole junkermann· ehud barak· deep fake· mossad

2:32:58 Can I get a late checkout? Late checkout, yes. Not in that room because we got that room has got to be ready for it. Well, okay, we can give you to one, but we can't give you to three. Can you get out by one? Yeah, exactly. Maybe someone knows. I mean, or is it just if all it takes is Bojo, DJ. He's making a proclamation. Just to say, hey, we're done. Why don't you do it now? Yeah, he could. Interesting. I only have one, well I have a couple quick non-clip updates. You have anything funny? Yes. Oh good. Prince Andrew's lawyers are now claiming that the photo of him at Epstein's mansion is probably fake. It's a deep fake. How long has that photo been in play? It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.

2:33:58 Oh, it's completely... no, that's fake. No, there's no evidence, new evidence whatsoever. There is one other name I want to bring to our attention. And actually a couple of names. Because now there's word of the Epstein associate no one's talking about. And her name is... she's a German-born ex-model. What is her name now? Oh yeah, here we go. Nicole Junkermann.

2:34:35 Never heard of her. No, but she was in a group that included Epstein and Ehud Barak, who of course we also saw in probably a fake photo. They had a an app that they were creating that they wanted to I guess they were working with the 911 system in the US and this app if there was an issue then it would you know it would send if you had a problem you need a 911 you click the app it sends like your entire life your address book your location all of that stuff to the system which seems like a great tracking mechanism she also

2:35:14 In 2002, her company acquired the FIFA World Cup rights in Germany. So she's a player. Like the television rights. Okay. So now people are looking at her and what was she doing? Apparently she's also on the flight manifest. I don't have anything more than just that's an interesting name. Yeah, there you go again. This is the thing that bothers me the most. What? The guilt by association. I'm not making, I'm just telling you what's being reported. I didn't say someone's guilty. I'm not blaming you. I'm blaming the people that are reporting this now. No, you were changing your tone with me trying to make me... I was.

CHAPTER 42 / 44 Discussion

Zorro Ranch, New Mexico Observatory Closure

The hosts revisit the 2018 closure of the Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico, noting its proximity to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. While the closure was officially linked to a child pornography investigation involving an employee, the hosts question why the nearby ranch was not raided at the same time. They express skepticism regarding the official narrative of Epstein's suicide and the failure of prison security cameras.

This is just another data point It's Freddy the firewall offensive to you I didn't realize it until people started objecting to and I started actually listening to it Okay, and I realized that it was the worst thing ever okay, okay? Epstein has a ranch in New Mexico, the Zorro Ranch. Okay, this is actually a good point because just go on and I'm going to confirm what you're saying. Well, only all I wanted to... Why aren't they over there looking at this place? Well, they were very close just about a year ago. Do you remember the observatory?

2:36:36 in New Mexico that closed? And first it was, oh maybe they saw aliens, it's the Sunspot Solar Observatory? And closed for 11 days in September. Yes you do. You just forgot. Because we talked about it on the show. So it's right right below on the map right underneath the Zorro Ranch and After these days of it being closed and no one knew it was going on it turns out that some employee there was nailed for Child pornography right by the Epstein Ranch. I know it's guilt by association I'm just saying and that ran the ranch was never was never rated don't even know if they've even been in there and

CHAPTER 43 / 44 Discussion

William Barr Holiday Party, Trump Hotel Ethics

Attorney General William Barr is facing criticism for booking a $30,000 private holiday party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. While the event does not violate the law, critics argue it skirts ethical lines regarding the emoluments clause. Justice Department officials claim other venues were fully booked, but the hosts suggest the move is a needless distraction that fuels political tension.

2:38:20 Oh, Bill Barr. He's gonna throw a party, he's gonna pay for it and everybody's all bent out of shape about this. Excuse me, why is Bill Barr my buddy? He's not? No, no, I told you this guy is cleaning up for other people if anything he's obfuscating stuff and he's protecting people he was involved in a report came out I didn't buy into that until now oh this guy's a total cleanup artist he's Muller couldn't do it he couldn't cut it Muller's over the hill he's got the Biden stuff going on You saw it, you saw it. He's just, it's sad. It was a sad sayonara for the guy. So Barr has to take care of it, protect whoever he needs to protect. It seems as clear as day. Comey, bad boy, move along please. Okay, yes, what about him?

2:39:10 Well, Barr's got a party. He's going to do a party. I just thought this story was so stupid. It was not played by the mainstream, which surprises me. But it was played on Democracy Now! because, you know, they're all against all things Trump. The Washington Post is reporting Attorney General William Barr is planning a $30,000 holiday party at Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The event is reportedly not an official Justice Department party and will be paid for directly by Barr, critics say. Although the event would not be a legal violation, it skirts an ethical line. Maryland and the District of Columbia previously argued in a lawsuit foreign governments and other entities patronized the Trump Hotel in order to curry favor with the president, putting other businesses at a disadvantage, a violation of the emoluments clause. Wait, you're incorrect because the mainstream did play it, because I have the same report from MSNBC.

2:40:05 So we should we take let's get their take on it. I wonder if it'll be different I doubt it and this falls into the category of just looking weird the Attorney General Bill Barr apparently book booked Trump's DC hotel for a 200 person holiday party in December that could have revenue attached to it of $30,000 I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. I know people are going to say this is highly inappropriate, but it doesn't even pass the smell test. It's just weird. There's a lot of hotels in DC where you can have a party. Yeah, Ali, a person who works at the Justice Department who wasn't speaking officially, because, again, this is the attorney general's private party and not a Justice Department event. That Justice Department official said that the reason he selected the Trump Hotel a few blocks from the White House is because the other big hotels, fancy hotels in downtown Washington were booked.

2:41:01 You know, it doesn't break a law. As you say, it's just kind of weird. But there would have been another option here, which is just don't have the party this year. Right. There's a lot of stuff that falls into the just kind of weird category these days. Wait a minute. They didn't bring up emoluments clause. How wrong is that? I'm surprised they didn't. But the other thing is... since they kind of said, well, he said they were all booked. That's what they had to do with it. The Trump, in other words, they checked every place else out. She confirmed that by calling them one of the hotels and saying, are you guys booked for this day? But just so they could do some actual reporting instead of just sitting there and blathering. No, she didn't do that, did she? Now, the whole thing is like, it's also possible that Trump just gave him a deal. I would think so.

2:41:46 Yeah, you're working for the guy who owns the hotel. I mean, but honestly, Barr is stupid. Why would he do this? Trump is stupid too. And the next G7, oh, let's have it at the Doral. I mean, yeah, it may be the best place. Your people may have found that to be the perfect spot. It's better than anywhere else. Top world class. But you're a moron for doing that. I disagree. Really? No, I think it's... sometimes you gotta just do... It may be good distraction material. Well, it's gonna be great for the show, but it puts everybody in a foul mood.

2:42:28 And if they didn't do it at that place or he didn't do the party at all, like was the option that MSNBC had, guy wants to have a party. I don't know why. I've done parties and you do parties when you feel like it. Yeah. And so he doesn't do the party. He does do the party. I don't see at this point what difference does it make? OK, and time to leave now because now we're quoting Hillary Clinton. Although you left out what you did put in this point. Yeah. Well, I put it in at the wrong spot. Yes, you did. You did. Just to throw us off so we don't blow your cover. That, ladies and gentlemen, and children of all ages, is our show for today. Of course, we look forward to seeing you again on the second Thursday of the week. That'll be two days after my birthday.
